Gracie’s Quote of the Day

August 27, 2009

I was setting the kids up to color posters at the kitchen table when Jamie called.  I didn’t have a spot cleared or ready for Grace yet.  I told her to wait a minute until I get off the phone with Daddy.  Gracie didn’t want to wait.  She starts pulling the poster out of the [...]

Pics from Laura:
One of my all time favorites. 

Sweet girl.  You really get a good shot of her hair.  Yes, she cut her bangs herself.  Note…before she cut her hair, she didn’t have bangs.

Best Friend. 40.

August 24, 2009

So while I was in Kentucky, my best friend turned 40.  And, I am such a best friend that I didn’t even call her on her birthday.  Yeah, can you believe it.  I did send a card to arrive where she works on the day.  But I forgot to call with everything else going on…and [...]

First Grade. First Day.

August 24, 2009

Thursday was Lucy’s first day of first grade.  It was weird.  On her first day of Kindergarten, I bawled like a baby.  But first grade…she was like a pro.  She did ask me to stay the whole day with her.  But when when I picked her up…it was no big deal.  Same as last year…nothing [...]
