Sophia Says Hi

Okay, she didn't actually "say" hi, but she did request a greater presence on our blog.

Lazy Dog

Get off the couch, and go get a job!

A Box

So, Julia fell asleep in a box. Needless to say, this Kindergarten thing is really wearing her out. It was real nap too. Like 30-40 minutes . . . asleep . . . in a box.

Kindergarten!

Here are a few pics from our "long" trek to Kindergarten. Up the street and around the corner. I like the one with Julia walking just out of reach of her parents shadows.

More Kindergarten!

Here she is in front of her school, Rolling Ridge Elementary. She was ready to go as she walked down the hallway, and even more ready as soon as she entered the room. She hung up her backpack, went to her seat, and went right to work. We didn't even get a good-bye hug and kiss. She's off and running!

Another Promotion

Not to be out done by her big sister, Sophia has now been promoted to a new car seat. Good-bye baby seat! Julia enrolled for Kindergarten yesterday and will find out who her teacher is in just a few days we hope. We'll certainly post some "first day" pictures on the 15th of August.

The Little Gardener

Here's the garden Julia planted (with a little help from her dad) using the seeds Nana sent her. The cucumber is going strong, and the sunflowers aren't far behind. The lettuce is slow growing, but looking good too. She and Becky water the garden and the flowers each morning or evening. Julia will do most any garden work that doesn't involve getting dirty. So, that pretty much leaves her watering.

No Worries

I'm gone for a week at camp, and when I get back Sophia is walking all over the place. Of course, once she learned to walk for real, she fell down our stairs for the third time. Steps are dumb.

The Oklahoma Family

The girls enjoying the family in OKC, Poppy, Nanna, Aunt Jeanna, and Uncle Adam.

Julia turns 5!

Julia got plenty of presents for the big 5. Books, crafts, cash AND a car
seat (see below). She's saving her $ for a fish tank and fish to keep in
her bedroom. Plus, she got to plan her own b-day party with her friends
organized around the themes of Snoopy (cake), soccer (plates and cups),
and pajamas (attire). It sure is good to be 5!
