Justin and I voted and we think L is the cutest at this age. We just can't get enough of him.

early release day

What fun! The kids got out of school early today. We called up our good friends and met at a farm near us. The kids had a good time, even though it was 90 degrees....(whatever happened to the fall air??? It felt like July or August not the end of September.) We were entertained with a rooster saying hello. The kids got a kick out of the pigs rolling in the mud bath. Hey I would have jumped in too with the heat. A bonded with the ducks, seriously he was talking to them and they were answering back. It was really cute.

M: "Does Daddy have potties at work?"
mom: "Yes he does."
M: "Are you sure?"
mom: "Yes sweetheart he does."
M: "Then why does he always have to go to the bathroom when he comes home?"
mom: "Good question. Why don't you ask Dad?" (I think it is because he knows he can lock the door and read all of his medical journals that are piling up without anyone 'bugging' him)

Becoming Jane

Wahoo! I feel rejuvenated. Two GNOs in one weekend. That is a record for me. A bunch of us got together and saw Becoming Jane Not only was it great company, I loved the film too. I never really pictured myself a Jane Austen fan but I guess I am a hopeless romantic. I am smitten.
(me, Allie, Rachael, Melanie, Jaqueline, Tonya, Ann)

GNO with the little girls too

Thanks Traci for a great night! The boys were at father/son's campout. So of course we had to celebrate and do girly stuff. We went to Panera Bread and then bought the new Barbie Island Princess movie.

a stroll down memory lane

I can't find all the pictures. I know we took more. It is a good thing that time can remove the mundane tasks that we did daily but I sure do remember some of the fun crazy times. Anyway in light of our unexpected reunion through the network of blogs I thought I should share a photo from the good ole days at the Registrar's Office. (Check out the old cubies!!! They were SWEET!)
