This was one of her favorite dance moves "the splits" little did she know it's not very appropriate for a little lady to show her panties;) Posted by Picasa

I think it's time for mommy to sign her up for dance class... Posted by Picasa

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Snow? Friday? WHAT!
I'm just not ready for that! Fall is my favorite time of year. Those cold days where the warm sunshine is just enough to keep you happy without a jacket, but maybe a light sweater. The leaves, oh the leaves. Yellow, orange, red, brown- nature at it's best! But it passes oh so soon. I wish fall would last as long as the nasty winter! But seriously, snow? Friday? no, not possible, it's only the end of August....

A MINI UPDATE

Well I finally stole a few minutes of time to load a few snapshots from Olivia's 3rd Birthday party. We held it at Wiard's Orchard in Ann Arbor last weekend. It was a great time. We had an awesome turnout and good weather too. It was a little cold, then pretty warm and everyone was tossing jackets on and off by the minute. Olivia got everything she wanted in a party- pumpkin decorating, bounce blow-ups, pony rides, a hayride, a playground and friends. Only thing we were missing was DADDY!!!!! Speaking of Daddy, shouldn't be long now....
Deagan is growing in leaps and bounds. He is talking and doing more baby signs. He's getting smarter every day. He understands way more than I ever thought!!!! He still has crazy teeth, but they are slowly dropping. He's loving daycare and enjoys flirting and tackling the girls who work there all the time. He's gotten sick twice in two moths. Both times super huge fevers that warrant a trip to the doctor, all to be told it's a 'virus' and that's it. Last week he had a terrible ear infection around his tube. We are going to see an ENT guy to see if there is a problem with his tube and if it needs replaced. Hope not! He'll be having his 'other' surgery soon too, but don't know when.
Olivia is a social butterfly. She LOVES Loves loves school and is fitting in well. Each day she comes home with a new friend and stories to tell. She's learning the sounds that go with each letter and has a 'sound box' that she brings home for homework with flashcards. She creates endless pieces of artwork...hmm I should scan some and put them up.
They are both in Adam and Brynn's wedding next weekend- can't wait for that! If only someone could get a plane to jeff to get him home for it, then it'd be perfect!
Jeff's doing good. As good as you can in a sardine can. The guys are so sick of one another and don't get any relief from each other. It's not like normal dime a dozen military guys who get to travel around an see things and interact with others, these guys live in four walls...with two phones...
I'm doing well. Busy as always with kids and school. I swear since we've been back my feet haven't touched the ground, we are just flying all over. I need to settle down... School is going great. I tried to download stuff to here, but it didn't like my photoshop format. I was able to use the lab's negative scanners and scan in my black and white negatives in hopes to show you all here, but no go. I will figure it out SOON!
Well I hope you enjoy the pictures:)
