Slippery Slope

Finally!!!

Macy has waited for her first lost tooth for at least 2 years.

Thank you, hard-to-get-apart-legos for helping her tooth to pop out.

-

I feel like she is on a slippery slope.

First, all day school.

Then a lost tooth.

Next she will want an

ipod/cell phone/car/boyfriend/indpendence from me!
I cannot not have that.

4 Real

I feel like this year we have started school for reals.

Gone all day,

lunch at school,

I have so many great pictures of Macy's first day,

I just have to post them all.

Please forgive.

-

BTW, many times we question who's child she is.

-

For the record, I am crying in my kindergarten picture

just for the sake of getting my picture taken.

-

Macy-not so much.

-

She's thrilled to be in Ms. Anderson's class

"with the bear door"

-

She is super embarassed after I

said something silly to make her smile.

-

For Real.

p.s. Polly makes for a great photo accessory.

3 Mo.

Remember when Abe was 2 months?

Now he's 3.

He's fatter

He has more hair

He smiles a lot more (but not for the camera)

His eyelashes are super long

He loves his binky

He would really like to love his thumb

if he could only figure the darn thing out.

Not Abe

So what if the last 10 posts have been about Abe...

Get over it. This one isn't.

My whole fam went to Sunriver, Oregon last week.
Here's the recap.

Lava cave.

Highlights were making scary shadows on the cave wall,
Ethan, Bronwen, Miles, Macy and Sicicily

attempting to army crawl to the end of the cave.

Congrats to Ethan. Brave soul.

Goody's

The kids biked daily into town to the

candy/ice cream/stuffed animal store.

All the younger cousins bought big-eyed animal

and played with them whenever we were at the house.

Hike to Benham Falls.

This is where we found

Oregon's breeding ground for mosquitos.

Glad we found you, Breeding Ground.

Scott and Jed hiked South Sister.

Best picture of the trip.

And all the rest.
