Hold up, August

Let's just skip the "there-so-much-to-catch-up-on" speech and get right to the point.


Claire's first day of First Grade, bright and early in the morning on August 11th (who starts school that early??)

Secondly, Morgan had her third birthday. We had a family party for her on her birthday and then a friends birthday party later that week, to the theme of Strawberry Shortcake.

This video still cracks me up even though I have watched it several times. It was actually the second take of singing her birthday song, because Cody started the first round to the slow beat of a funeral march and I stopped him to ensure we didn't have a repeat of last years dirge. Apparently we are birthday-song-challenged in our family.

Morgan is such a delight to our family. She is sweet and funny, attached to her pink blanket, curly haired, tender-hearted, doesn't like to see people sad so she will sing songs to you to make you be happy, and is just unbelievably cute. Seriously, we just can't get enough of her.
