Dress Up

We were just hanging out at home on Friday and the girls had fun playing dress up. Grace had changed into pajamas at this point, but Baby Faith was still "fancy". She told me that she and her baby were going to church. By the way, the object around her neck is a sweater and she is wearing Grace's shoes. Bet you all wish you had a church outfit that looks like this!

Faith as Spiderman

Here is Baby Faith as Spiderman. These were masks that were a favor for Caleb's birthday. Faithie really liked the mask and really got into the character. She liked Caleb's Spiderman toy as much as he did and had a little bit of trouble understanding that it was his prize. Probably one of the cutest Spiderman imitators I've ever seen!

Happy Birthday

I had a really fun birthday weekend. We went to Denver on Saturday and had fun with the cousins and Auntie Pam and Uncle Lyle. We took some good pictures and I'll post some throughout this week. This one of me and the girls is one of my favorite recent pictures. Everyone looks happy and we are all looking at the camera at the same time. Yesterday, we went to Nicole's house and had a Birthday BBQ, which was also a really good time. I was really missing Ryan a lot this weekend, and it helped to be with people we love.

More pictures

Ryan sent an email this morning saying that his biggest complaint over there is the smell of oil. He says as soon as he steps outside, it is overwhelming. Christie wants more pictures, so I went through and found some. This one is again from the day before Ryan left...the girls were in a good mood, so we took a bunch of pictures that day. I'll keep posting them...

Ryan and the Mist

Ryan sent me this picture this morning...I don't know what the mist was for, but this is the first picture we have gotten from him since he has been gone.

Getting Ready for School

This was a rough morning...Faith did not want to get up and Grace did not want to have her hair combed for Picture Day at school. Faith then kept asking for Ryan and was not satisfied with my standard answer that "Daddy is on a big trip with the soldiers". When we were all finally dressed and ready to leave for school, I decided we should take a picture to show that we had made it through our rough morning.

12 Sep 2007

Today is the day before Ryan leaves for Iraq. We spent the day together as a family, and had fun at the park by our house. We could hear Aggie howling from over a block away! Faith had fun with Ryan standing and pushing her on the swing, and Grace was lurking at some of the other people playing in the park.
