Major Dad

Monday Burt was promoted to Major. We are so proud of him! He had the ceremony in his clinic and the promotion party there as well.

Look at John standing like his Dad.

Bathtime

I must admit I just put Clara in the regular bathtub Sunday, the 19th. It was just easier for me to use the baby bathtub. So I finally put her in the regular bathtub at the request of her brother. As you can tell, she just loved it, ha! (You also might notice there is bath crayon drawings all over our bathtub. This is a favorite activity of John.)

Maybe I am getting used to this.

Brother washing her.

What a face!

John showing me the soap he was using to clean his fingernails.

What a Difference . . .

almost 8 years make! This is Taylor Beth and I at our wedding on July 14, 2001. This is Taylor Beth and I before prom on April 24, 2009. She was my brother Jace's date.

Honeysuckle Hill

Our MOPS group went to Honeysuckle Hill Farm. As you can imagine, John LOVED it!! John's Sunday School teacher asked us last week if we lived on a farm because he is always talking about his barn and his animals. That boy and his imagination!
