Mowing

“Ok, is any mowing going to get done or is everyone just going to sit around ?!”

Co-workers

When you work in the same building as Emergency Services workers; you might see something like this when you make a run to the dumpster.

Sleepless in Thorn Gap

Li’s not slept well this week, it’s just been a little overwhelming plus she’s getting large amounts of sugar at school.  Here’s a few morning pictures.   She had to have glasses like her Nana with the flip up shade.  Girl is looking good in her new shades

Li has a new baby and for the first time she seems to love a baby doll.  This doll belonged to her great Aunt Virginia.  The night we left for China, Virginia’s health failed and so she never got to see us come home.  She was so happy for us and that Li was finally joining our family.  On Saturday her daughter gave us some of her Mother’s treasures including two sweet dolls.  Li loves them.  In one picture she’s rocking the baby like I do her, by bending my knees and swaying back and forth.   She’s a very sweet Mommy.

First Day!

Li started her first day of “School”.   We decided to call it school instead of daycare because it’s very much like school.  She’s in a room with 5 other students and one teacher with an assistant, both are very nice.  Li’s room is known as the “Zebra Room”.   Next year her class will move up together, so she’ll be with her classmates for several years as they prepare for real school. 

We didn’t stay long today, just a get acquainted day, but we plan for her to stay at least 3-5 hours tomorrow.   Everyone tells us this is a great place and that Li will love it and after meeting her teacher I know she will.   

Here’s a few pictures from her first day.  After Dad saw the gym and all the fun balls to play with I thought we’d never leave!  He was having a blast and eventually so was Li. 

And let me just add,  you’ll probably never see her in the same cute outfit twice thanks to her Grandmother’s and her friends.

Nutty Professor the Sequel

Li is watching as I add these pictures and finds herself quite funny.   And as always this Professor wears her glasses upside down.

Happy Fourth of July!

We celebrated the 4th at home doing a little of everything there was to do outside but our favorite part of the day was eating fresh corn.   Back in the spring Li helped plant the garden corn, well she was in the garden when it was planted.  Today we pulled the first ears and as you can see it was a big hit. 

She’s our All American Girl!
