OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW

We've known for a while now that Lily feels the new baby is a girl named Sally. She told me that when the baby comes we'll have to get rid of one of the brothers. I informed her that we would not get rid of the brothers, we will just have another new baby. I asked her what would happen if the baby was a boy. She replied," We'll have to get rid of him and get another girl baby." She really does love her brothers, but I think she would really enjoy having another girl around. Yes, she was informed that we would not be " getting rid" of any children. Its funny she would say such a thing, she misses her brothers when they're only gone a couple of hours( at least that's what she tells them).

catching fire flies is a fun thing to do when it's humid outside. Actually it's the only thing you want to do when it's humid outside. Strange thing is that the more humid it is the more fire flies are out. So at dusk the kids run around like wild banchies and catch lightning bugs. It seem that God always makes pleasant things especially in discomfort.

Swinging at the park

Fun at the Fair












We had a blast! We all got free icecream cones(except dan) cotton candy, carmal apples, corn dogs and onion burgers. we watched a parade and a guy on stilts walked over lily in the stroller. Oliver got to be a dairyman and carry a calf and they all got to play in the corn. they rode on rides till WE got sick(especially Oliver, who loved the zipper) We watched a show where a guy wrestled a croc and at the end of the night. they all won noisy toys that lily blasted all the way home.

bringing in the sheaves






Just after the 4th of july, we pulled up the garlic and some beets. the kids loved to help dig in the dirt and they all got to help us carry the garlic to the picnick table.
