September 2015

Emma is 18 months and Leah is 3.5 years old.  Casharina took these beautiful pictures of the girls.  Leah was a darling angel and Emma was running around and trying to avoid the camera at all cost.  They must work it out before hand that only one child will behave during photos. Taking the girls to have their pictures made makes me sweat and my patience is usually edging toward zero before we even walk in the door. I am very impressed by anyone who can get a decent picture of a child.  Casharina did a wonderful job!



We're having a great fall so far!

We went to Nitro to celebrate the Grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary!  That was fun and we had family photos made with the grandparents and the entire family.  The next day we went to Gritt's Farm and walked through a corn maze and enjoyed each others company.

Next week the girls and I are going to Corbin to go to the pumpkin patch with the Baker crew!

Freshman

I've heard that when a small child falls down and cries, a bandaid can help. Even if the child isn't bleeding- stick a bandaid on and all is well. Funny thing: I get asked about 10 times a day for a bandaid by high school freshman. It is usually the same kids sticking a finger in my face to show me that they are not bleeding and have no visible hangnails or papercuts. I, of course, am not a nurse and I don't keep bandaids, nor could I keep them if anyone found out I had a box. Also, in case you were wondering, the new cool way to hurt your friends is to flick them in the neck. Right on the Adam's apple if you can- if you have a rubber band, it's the best. Yes, I'm ready for Spring Break.

Proposal

This year was our fifth Valentines day together. I have never made John celebrate because I don't really care, but this year we had a romantic dinner. John made a fire in the fire place and I cooked dinner. Valentines Day fell on a Thursday which meant John had just finished some prints in his photo-lab. (John has a new hobby-photography. He is taking a photography class where you take and develop pictures and learn about perspective and art etc. ) After dinner, John handed me a stack of photos to sort through so he could show me what he has learned. I looked through a few and everything looked great until I saw a picture of John playing Scrabble. I laughed because it obviously didn't fit in with the rest, but I finally understood when I saw the next picture. It was a picture of his Scrabble board with the words "Jamie will you marry me". By the time I gasped and looked up, John was on one knee. He said the sweetest proposal and asked me again, "wil
