Friends, Birthday, Fair - A full Saturday!

Happy early Birthday to you, John!



Today was a fun day! We were invited to go visit a family that John works with the dad, Eddie. We ate hamburgers and hot dogs, and Eddie's sweet wife, Beth, got John a birthday cookie! What a treat!
We didn't realize, but we all needed to get out a little! The children needed to be away from the apartment and play! Needless to say, we had a great day! What a blessing!!!!!!!!!!

One of friends' favorite thing to do this time of year is go to the Wilson County Fair! So ... we headed that way after our lunch!

Donaly and Shelby on the carousel!



Shelby was screaming so loudly on the slide, Donaly had to hold her ears coming down. I missed the shot of John, Jack, & Grant coming down after that!



I still can't believe I let them do this, but yes ... Donaly, Shelby, and Grant rode the "Scrambler"! YIKES! They were HILARIOUS!



Mr. Eddie was finished with his frozen banana on a stick, so ... you can see who got to chew on it! That was a treat for Michael!



We appreciate Eddie and Beth having us to their home and treating our children as their own! What a special day!

Old post I forgot to go back to! Sorry!

Jack and Grant wait for lunch!

Michael just finished his first (and maybe last) teething biscuit!

Shelby reading Jack's new b'day book to him!

Catching up!

We took some pictures in June that I thought were on my camera, but they were on my mom's! So, now that I have a copy of them, you have to back up again with me to June! On our way to south Louisiana to the wedding we stopped to see my grandmother! We had not seen her since September before I had Michael. Grannie or Grannie D, as the children call her, turned 95 August 2nd! We e-mail a couple of times a week! Can you imagine - a 95 year old grandmother you e-mail! I love it!

Michael with his great-grandmother! He smiled almost as big as she did! Grannie has 5 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren (13 in September), and 1 great-grandchild.

Grannie still crochets many things for us! The children love the hats, scarves, and even horse blankets for Shelby's horses!

Danielle and Shelby at the bride's maids' brunch!

Jack learning to do a thumbs up as he swims with Daddy! Notice the finger!

Grant's New Hair-Do

Grant loved his friend, Roy's, hair cut a while back. Grant has been asking ever since for a hair cut. Well, here it is!

A Little Baking Trial

I have had recipes and other things go like this ... A Little Baking Trial, but it is comforting to know that the Lord places those little (and big) trials there for my good and His glory!
Have a blessed day!

To: Emma From: Shelby

Shelby wanted to send Emma a message when she heard how much she liked seeing Michael!
