A whole month!

I can't believe it has been a whole month since I have updated this! I guess time really does fly!! I have so much to post about, so I guess I will start with the most recent and go backwards-ish. First of all, today is Julianna's birthday! She is 9. Since it was voting day there was no school, and Jeff took the day off, so she was home with daddy home as well for her birthday. Here she is eating her cake. She always insists on posing, you can never get a picture of this child actually smiling, just posing.


On Sunday we headed out Boonesboro State park. It is the place where Daniel Boone's family settled. It was really fun. We only had a few hours there, I would love to go spend a day. We never even explored the trails, which was what we originally went to do! Here are the girls exploring in the Kentucky River.




Julianna was happy to have her dad around. I hung back to take some pictures and Ali stayed with me. Jeff, Julianna and Dixie were well ahead of us!


We walked up to one of the locks on the river and hiked up next to it. It was really cool!


Do you recognize these wild women? If not, then you probably haven't read the book "Holes" by Louis Sachar.


It is none other than Kissin' Kate Barlow and the Warden!


Ali had two very very loose teeth. Then last week as we were waiting in her school for out parent teacher conference, she suddenly said "MOM!! Where's my tooth??? I know I didn't swallow it!!" We looked around in a panic, then low and behold, we looked in the top of the drink she had just taken a sip of. There it was sitting on the top of it!



Here she is minus one tooth! It is the bottom on, her top two are ground down from grinding her teeth!


Then just a few days later out came number two. I can't get over how cute she looks with her toothless grin!



A few weeks ago we went to a park nearby to look for leaves. We went straight from school. I think the girls just look so cute in their uniforms!

What a fantastic picture of Jeff! He loves fishing at the park. Here he is sitting on a tree trunk hoping to catch one. The people you can see in the back, the guy caught a HUGE catfish while we were getting ready to leave.

And lastly, here is Dixie, or as Jeff calls her "The Baby". She crawled into the pillowcase and went to sleep.
