Wannabe
I don't know anything about cake decorating or photography, but the recent b'days have given me a chance to have fun playing around with both!

1 Week Later, Another Great Birthday
Donnie didn't get all the party gear that Ellabeth had, but we made sure to have fun celebrating his 30th!
This girl knows how to party!
On their sugar buzz letdown.
"Hmmm, why isn't this party for me?"
"For real, we don't need noise makers around here!"
Happy 30th Birthday!
We Love You!!

First Food
Anderson got his first taste of cereal tonight. He hasn't quite got swallowing figured out yet, but he enjoyed eating off the spoon! You would think that Donnie and I would be a little more on top of things with baby #2, but we obviously forgot the bib - nothing a little Dreft can't take care of!

First Day of School
The morning started with a healthy breakfast.
She sat like a big girl to get her hair done.
A look of concern about what was going on...
but she quickly recovered and found a smile!
Who looks more nervous now?
Truth be told, "first day of school" is a little deceiving on 2 counts. It's really not school - it's a mom's day out 5 hours 1 day a week. And, she didn't even have a full "day." Two hours after drop off I got a call saying she had been crying all morning and had probably had enough. This daily report is definitely going in the baby book! Better luck next week?

First Family Vacation
Although we travel frequently, we've never been on a family vacation, so we stopped at Lake of the Ozarks on our drive back from IN and spent a couple days just relaxing.
