1st Day of School

James left this morning for his first day of school.  He wasn't too excited about the picture, but I made him take one anyway.  Here he is.  Good luck hon!

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

A couple of Sunday's ago I was getting dinner ready after church while James was putting Hannah down for a nap. This is what I found:

Good Books

Does anyone have any good books to recommend? 

James is starting school next week and I have a feeling he'll be doing a lot of studying in the evenings.  So, I need to have something to do that's quiet and won't wake Hannah up.  I'd love any suggestions.

14 Months

I can't believe she's already 14 months old.  That's crazy to me.  Here's what she's been up to:

* she is now a screamer - when she's happy, angry, or frustrated she is very vocal about it.

* she walks all over the place and is learning to run from us.

* she loves to transport things, particularly from under the bathroom sink to the bathtub.

She recently discovered the toilet and we've had a hard time keeping her out of it.  I usually just try to keep the bathroom door shut, but when I'm in the bathroom getting ready she's usually in there.  I looked into a toilet lock, but those things are like $10, so we now have James' toolbox on top so she can't open the lid.  I'm hoping that cures her.

Gunshots

Around 3 this morning we woke up to the sound of a few gun shots.  We don't generally here that, but it didn't seem odd or out of place to me.  I thought to myself...hmm.. someone just shot a gun.  Oh well....then rolled over and went back to sleep.  Yikes!
