A Little Slice of Lemon

Pearl had her first taste of lemon today.

I remember when Violet was a baby and I gave her a lemon. Melissa was ready to freak. Now...not so much. It's more of an everyday occurrence. How times have changed! 

Let's Try Crawling

Pearl is learning to get up on all fours ready to crawl.

Right now it's just a little back and forth movement but before you know it, she'll be off...possibly running!

Back to School

Where does the summer go.

Already Lincoln is preparing to go into 4th grade...

and Hazel starts 1st grade at Mason Elementary.

Violet on the other hand is in her 2nd year at middle school starting 7th grade. Before you know it I'll be attending high school graduation ceremonies!

Pearl Tries Real Food

It's about that time when Melissa introduces "real" food into Pearl's diet.

She seems to like it. I don't know why Melissa scolds me when I try to give her a cookie. I guess that's not part of the introduction to solid food diet. 

Lincoln Back to Playing Football

It's football season and Lincoln is back on the Vikings team.

He's grown so much since that first season. He's an offensive player and is the center just as Jason Kelce with the Pittsburg Steelers. Hopefully Lincoln's career will be as successful as Jason's. For now we sit in the summer sun and sweat to the games. 

Pearl is 6 Months Old

Months are flying by as Pearl turns 6 months old.

She has 2 teeth and loves to play peek-a-boo. Happy "Half" Birthday Pearl! 

Violet Middle School Volleyball

After a tense week of practice, Violet found out she made the middle school volleyball team.

Not only did she make the team but she made the A team...a position held mostly by 8th graders, not 7th graders. Go Mustangs!
