Terrified

What's making this sweet baby Anna hide under the computer desk and scream with fright?  And, yes, that is marker on her leg.  Just her daily expression of personal toddler fashion.

Just one of Casey's Star Wars guys. 

Casey turns 7

Casey started celebrating early and then celebrated long this year.  He had four days of fun and loved every minute of it.  He loves his birthday more than anyone (except maybe Nana).  It was a Star Wars filled, large cookie eating, giggle-filled birthday.

Castoff

A week before school started, Sam was at a friend's house and broke his arm.  The story isn't so exciting and he wished many times that he was actually riding the four wheeler when it happened.  But, 5 weeks later, and no sports to keep him busy, he finally has his cast off.  He started with a cast above the elbow, then was given a little freedom in the black cast.  Now, he is completely free and happy to have access to itch and apply lotion to a very irritated arm.  The doctor made mention of the ASU shirt, wondering why in the world he would betray Missou on the day of the big game.  Well, Sam has always had a little team rebellion in him.  Go Devils!!  (And, they did win.)
P.S.  I love Jill peeking to see the action.  She wasn't quite sure about the noisy saw.

more first day of school photos

Just a few more pictures from our back to school bash.  Somehow, Sam escaped, and the missionaries didn't want to show off their eyewear.  But, school is off and running.  It has already been a much better year than last year.  A little less crazy without football and adventures all around Missouri.  So, hopefully the good will continue and the bad will stay away for a really long time.
