Julianne and her Kitty

The other day I mentioned that the kittens are not that tame, but there is one that Julianne is able to catch on a regular basis - this is the one Dallas has named Otis.

Sugar can't get enough of him! (and luckily, Otis takes the "cuddles" all in stride)

Until next time...

Fun Friday Fotos

Daddy had a rough day at work yesterday.  They started harvesting, but only one of the 3 combines was able to run.  We thought we would cheer him up this morning with a picture.

This evening, Reba helped me dig the carrots out of the garden!  I was very pleased with how they did.

I think these carrots will be destined to become baby food for Number 4 and a carrot cake for everyone else!

All that is left in the garden are a few bell pepper plants and the sweet potatoes.  I think I'm going to wait for the weather to cool off before digging them.

Until next time...

Re-Opening of the Church

This morning marked the re-opening of our church!  After 8 long months, we are finally back to celebrating mass in the church and no longer in the gym of the school.  This morning, Father held a special prayer service for the care of God's creation.  The students and staff were able to attend, and I thought it would be lovely for Julianne and I to go as well.

Julianne did fairly well - she liked being able to sit on the pew (and not someone's lap) and she loved being able to stand on the kneelers to see.  She also got pretty excited when she spotted "Beb" (Reba) - in the center with a white shirt.

 and Dallas - off center to the left in the red shirt with his head down.  As they left to head back to school.

It is simply breath-taking!

Until next time...

Daddy's Lap

As I was cleaning up from supper, I heard Doug trying to coax Julianne up into his lap.  Then, I heard him telling Reba not to get down but to stay.  I popped head around the corner just to see what was going on...and this is what I found!

I'm not sure where Number 4 is going to fit, but I'm pretty positive he will find plenty of space.

Until next time...

Baby Photo Contest

Our church's summer social is in a couple weekends, and new this year is a Baby Photo Contest.  One of the gals in charge, called and asked if I would be willing to submit a photo of our little one.  She actually called a few weeks ago, I just kept forgetting about it.  Well, she sent me a text this morning as a final reminder, so I dressed Sugar and headed out hoping to get a good picture to submit.  These were the ones I liked the best...

After asking a handful of people for their opinion on which one to submit, it came down to the last two.  I finally decided on the last one.  I thought it was her most "natural" smile.

Until next time...
