HALLOWEEN

THIS WAS THE FIRST YEAR THAT I REALLY GOT INTO HALLOWEEN. ME AND THE BOYS DRESSED UP AS BATMAN, A MONKEY AND A REALLY BAD VAMPIRE AND WENT TRICK-OR-TREATING WITH MY SISTER-IN-LAW AND HER GIRLS. DAVIS REALLY ENJOYED GOING FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE JUST TO GET CANDY. MARSHALL HAD FUN JUST GOING.

MARSHALL'S 1ST BIRTHDAY

WE HAD MARSHALL'S 1ST BIRTHDAY PARTY EARLY SO EVERYONE COULD MAKE IT. DAVIS HELPED MARSHALL BLOW OUT HIS CANDLE ON THE CAMOUFLAGE CAKE. AFTER THE CANDLE WAS OUT MARSHALL WENT TO TOWN ON HIS SMASHER CAKE. HE LOVED IT. I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S ALMOST ONE. THIS YEAR HAS WENT BY WAY TOO FAST...

10-YEAR REUNION

MY 10-YEAR HIGH SCHOOL REUNION WAS THIS WEEKEND. THIS IS A PICTURE OF JUST FIVE OF US AT THE HAWTHORN INN.

I'D RATHER BE FISHING

John and I took Davis fishing this evening. He caught a fish all by himself but it got away right at the edge of the water. He has come a long way with his cast since the beginning of the summer. He is growing up too fast.

SWEET TOOTH

I WAS COOKING SUPPER TONIGHT AND MUST HAVE LEFT THE REFRIGERATOR OPEN BECAUSE WHEN I TURNED BACK AROUND MARSHALL HAD THE STRAWBERRY SYRUP TURNED UP. HE LOVES THE STUFF!

ELMO

MRS. DOLORES, JENNY AND I TOOK THE KIDS TO THE OLE BROOK FESTIVAL. WE WENT TO SEE BATMAN (HENCE THE CAPE ON DAVIS) BUT HE WAS A NO-SHOW. NEVER FEAR, ELMO WAS THERE.

 
 

I LIVE TO EAT

MARSHALL IS MY EATER. IT'S HIS FAVORITE THING TO DO AND HE'S NOT PICKY ABOUT IT. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I LET HIM GO TO DO HIS THING.

 
 

WE LOVE OUR BATHTIME

DAVIS AND MARSHALL ARE STILL SHARING THEIR BATHTIME AND THEY LOVE IT. BATHTIME IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE TIMES OF THE DAY, TOO.

HANGIN' OUT

WE SPENT THE DAY WITH MY DAD AND LET THE KIDS PLAY OUTSIDE. DAVIS' FAVORITE PART WAS GETTING TO HANG UPSIDE DOWN ON THE BAR.

DADDY TEACHES HIM SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY

JOHN TOOK THE BLADES OFF ONE OF HIS RAZORS AND TAUGHT DAVIS HOW TO "SHAVE". HE THINKS HE IS A MAN NOW. HE'S GOT IT DOWN -- SHAVE, AFTER-SHAVE, DEODORANT, COLOGNE. HE WANTS TO BE JUST LIKE HIS DADDY!!!
 
 

"YOU CAUGHT ME"

I LOST DAVIS FOR A WHILE THIS AFTERNOON. WHEN I FOUND HIM HE WAS IN THE KITCHEN SINK AND WHEN HE SAW ME HE JUST LAUGHED. OF COURSE, I LAUGHED TOO. HE IS SUCH A CLOWN AND LOVES TO HAVE FUN.

DAVIS' 3RD BIRTHDAY

Today is Davis' 3rd birthday. We had a great time at his party. He was so excited to have Batman and Robin help him open his gifts.

I LOVE SUMMERTIME

THE BOYS HAVE ALREADY SPENT ALOT OF TIME IN THE POOL THIS SUMMER. THEY BOTH LOVE THE WATER. SO FAR IT HAS BEEN A GREAT SUMMER...
 
 

PARENT/CHILD DEDICATION

TODAY IS MOTHER'S DAY AND EVERY YEAR OUR CHURCH HAS BABY DEDICATION. THERE WERE EIGHT BABIES DEDICATED. ALL OF THE FAMILIES WERE RECOGNIZED AND ASKED COMMIT THEIR FAMILIES TO THE CHRISTIAN NURTURE OF THEIR CHILDREN. WHAT GREATER JOY...

BROTHERLY LOVE

HART FAMILY GET TOGETHER

We had a Hart Family get-together today at Uncle Tommy & Aunt Becky's. Granny Hart had it catered by Annie P's. We ate and watched the little ones play in the kiddy pool. After awhile we played a game or two (or three or four) of horseshoes. Ken and Sherri dominated the playing field. Later on the ladies sat around and caught up on the news and the men carried on the old Hart tradition of Dominoes. Everyone enjoyed each other and had a great, laid-back-kinda day.
