Tonight I was cooking, and suddenly I felt something run into my legs. This is a common thing for Lizzy to do, so it took me a second to turn around. When I finally did, this is how I found her :) Apparently she needed to use her bug net for something other than catching bugs.

Lizzy and I also wanted to show off her toes. Lizzy was having a little trouble learning her colors, but as soon as I put paint on her nails she learned blue, yellow, and she keeps saying her toes are pink. Who knew it only took a little beauty to bring her out :)

I was lucky enough to be invited to the wedding of one of my former students, and I got to go with my good friend and fellow English teacher Christi. Here we are all dressed up, and below I got to pose with one of the prettiest brides I have ever seen. You could just she her happiness and loveliness shine out.

Congratulations Hannah and Drake- Thanks for having me.
And tonight we were blessed to have the Walters family over for dinner. Lizzy has been going to the Walters house since she came home, and now she will be staying home with Daddy full time. We will miss seeing them all the time, and as you can tell Lizzy seems a little attached.

We are so lucky to have found people outside our family who love our little Lizzy, and I know we all feel like they are family now.

Good luck in college this year David, and we should all wish Danny good luck because he has me again this year-poor boy-for three hours a day :)

The family (with the Crowells-of course) at the Doodlebops. Lizzy LOVED it. Later, I learned that we could have had front row tickets if I had only called Lonnie Steele. Lonnie used to be the principal at Washington, and he runs the Porter Co. Fair. Well...there's always next year.

Here is the Lizzy with the prize that she won (with Daddy's help) in a fishing game. She is quite proud.
Okay...so this was our fourth trip to the fair. We HAD to go with Ione, and we had a great time looking at the animals and riding the rides. I love how Lizzy is even smiling perfectly while she lets Ione drive.
