Summer & Fall - 2006
|
|
| Well, September rolls around - and we're off to the bus stop again. A mere 3/4 mile walk from our spot in the woods. Wish I could say we walk every day. For the first day of school, this is a family affair. Here they are waiting for the bus their first day of 1st and 3rd Grade. My how the years fly by!! | |
|
Here is Ingrid modelling her new dance class practice outfit. She got it for her birthday from her Aunt. Loves it!! |
|
David is getting ready to build that woodshed. He "found" these nice straight hardwood "stumps" out by the road. GEE - I wonder how that happened. Here is Ingrid stripping the bark from it using Pop Morton's old draw knife. Somehow, I think he'd be real proud of it all....... |
|
The girls gave soccer a try this Fall. Just a short 6 week season. They improved a LOT! Grace was the team goalie. She even blocked a few shots by the end of the season. Ingrid did learn that this wasn't a social event - and that she should do something to help the team get the ball in that net thing - the goal!!! It was a fun time for all of us! |
|
And of course Halloween rolled around again! Ingrid decided to be Miss Liberty. Grace decided she had to be something patriotic too - so, naturally it had to be an animal. So with that factored in - naturally it was a Bald Eagle. They both won costume prizes at the School Halloween Party. Ingrid for Most realistic and Grace for Most Creative. Go Mommy!!! |
| Well - the other big change this Fall. Grace got her hair cut. It was a major event. She happily donated her hair to Locks of Love. Her price - dinner at Freznos. Why Freznos - well, naturally, they give the kids tattoos. First the haircut, then snack at DD, dance class and then dinner. We weren't sure if she'd get upset. The answer - no - she was ready. It was a fun afternoon for us all. | |
