Andrew's first day of Kindergarten

And he's off. I even got to take him to school because the bus never showed up. :) And I barely teared up!

Waiting for the bus, that never came.

Vedauwoo Getaway

Mom and Dad came out for 10 days this past week. We spent the first couple days camped out at Vedauwoo (vee-da-voo), our favorite place to camp and hike. We had a blast. Great way to end summer vacation.

7 month snarles

Monica has a new face. Snarly face as we call it. She wrinkles up her nose and snuffs at people. Personally I think it's something she learned from Ross, our Pug. :)

It's hard to get pictures with out the snarly face.

She has also entered her grumpy phase. When you set her on the floor she gets so frustrated that she can't get to the things she wants. As much as I'm not ready for her to start crawling, I'm ready for grumpy baby to be gone.

And yes, I can take pictures without a bow in her head. I just don't like to.
