A Garage Set up?

I am attempting to take some photos in the garage. I hung some white fabric on a bungee cord and gave it a try. Hannah was not much in the mood for photos, and everyone else was gone, so I could only snap a few. I will see if I can get some more when Hannah is well.

We took her to the doctor today. She has to stay out of school until Monday. She doesn't cough much during the day, but at night.

Hers is one I got of her in the garage for the few moments she cooperated. She now weighs 42 pounds and is 42 inches high, according to the doctor today. Apprently, she is very light for her age, and a bit tall.

More Photo Fun

Our friends who have the new baby let Abbie and I come back to take some more photos of her today. It was an overcast day, so we did it outside on Betsy's back porch. I hung a black peice of scrap fabric off some plant hooks and put the baby on a patio table in front of it. We got some cute shots, but I cannot imagine not getting good cute shots with a baby this adorable.

My Photo Fun Today

Abbie and I had some time to run up to the Inn to take some photos of the Barton family before the rain set in. It was mid-afternoon, so the youngest one had a total meltdown after a few shots. They are such a fun and cute family, I will try it again later with them. We still got some fun ones despite the meltdown.

Sleeping Beauty

Hannah is adjusting to her new school schedule. I think she is really enjoying school. She made a 100 on her spelling test last week.I was so proud of her. She comes home and does her homework right away. Lately, she does not make it to bedtime. She is so worn out from the early start, and all the fun at school that she falls asleep on the couch in my bedroom. I just had to capture the cuteness. Yes, she still uses a tag on her lips to get to sleep. It's so cute.

Labor Day BBQ at the Inn

We went to the Inn to have a BBQ with the local RTF family. The kids swam for a short while before their lips turned blue and they got out to eat. The weather is changing rapidly here. That may be the last time we can swim in the evening. When the sun is out, it is fine, but after five, it gets cool.

We had plenty to eat. Everyone brought something to grill, and something else to share. There was lots of laughter and stories sitting around after dinner. I so love being a part of this community.

Blown Head Gasket?

Well, I am bit bummed tonight. It looks like our family mini-van is on the brink of death. We took Avery to soccer practice tonight and it did not want to bring us home. We did manage to get home with it, but Mark thinks it has blown a head gasket. It does have over 200 thousand miles on it afterall. But, it is the only car we have that fits the whole family, and this is not a good time financially to buy something else. That is at least a three months away. The other car only seats four, and the back seat is small. Ugh!

We are supposed to pick up Chester and Betsy tonight at the airpot too! I am worried the luggage will not all fit in the trunk. Unfortunatly, it is too late to call anyone else to pick them up at midnight tonight.

So, pray for us, we are now without a family vehicle. We had planned a camping trip soon, and to go to church Sunday. Gosh, now that I think about it, we cannot even all go to the Apple Festival this year. Sheeze. Maybe Mark can drop me and Avery off and come back home and get the girls. We can't skip the Apple Fesitival.

Sorry to whine, I just hate feeling stranded.
