Tomato!

Abigail is enjoying a garden tomato! I turned around to set up the stroller, and she took the opportunity for a snack. She just loves them!

Funny Picture

Whitney is hard at work again...this time on Abigail! She got three velcro curlers in for extra volume!! Things are going great with us...we have really enjoyed the summer. Abigail is walking everywhere, well --practically running now. She loves slides, her beach ball, finding snacks, climbing stairs over and over, and knocking on doors.

KATIE DID

Katie is a joy - she will be 16 in December..She is very much the big sister and she wants her siblings to conform to her ways..they do challenge her on that. She is going to be getting her drivers permit hopefully before school starts. We are taking our time and I'm glad.. She won't be able to get her license until she has had her permit for a year.. We are planning some fun things for her 16th birthday that she doesn't know about..She is a sweet girl and such a blessing to us.. Her main job this summer is babysitting Caleb and Carli and laundry.. Neither one of these is she very thrilled with but she will be getting a new phone for babysitting and a little cash to buy books with, which she can't seem to get enough of...Her most favorite in the world is her dog Crystal- a golden retriever- kind like Katie

CALEB CAL

Caleb is our hardest worker... He helps us so much we don't know if our household could operate without him.. I'm glad you're only 12 Caleb!! Caleb is an avid fisherman and will go anytime his dad will take him.. they have been gone most of the day at times and other times they go twice a day...i'll take him some but the wheather has to be cooler! Caleb has a kind heart and makes a friend very easily. His pet is Chloe his cat whom he adores and she adores him..

CARLI BEANS

Carli will be 10 in about 3 weeks..We will be going to Orlando and having Dinner with Cinderella and her mice friends...We are very excited about that.. Carli is a mommys girl and a daddys girl...She gives the greatest hugs..She will hug you and then give you a squeeze before she lets go.. She will be going into the 5th grade. Wow!! She LOVES to talk..talk...talk...talk!! We wouldn't have her any other way!She is intense in all that she does, She works hard, plays hard, talks like crazy - she is very smart and can be very knowledge in everything she says in a ten minute conversation..One night on the way home from church she gave us a whole medical explation of how and why the heart works.. very impressive - she can do that with many subjects!! Much to her dismay she doen't have a pet of her own yet... You never know..one day she might enter the pet world...
