Molly's Birthday Party

A few shots from the penultimate Sadd's birthday party!

From Molly's 2nd B...

Happy Birthday!

Happy 2nd Birthday to Molly! And happy birthday to her great grandmother, Hilda "Granny" Wood, who was gracious enough to share her 80th birthday with the wee lass (and has continued to share each birthday since). Granny is shown here with her husband to be. They have now been married over 60 years!

Front Page News

This morning's issue of Bluffton Today featured Noah and Beah on the front page and the centerfold article of today's paper. We started assistance dog training on Monday and the paper was there to cover it. Click the pic for more!

Preparations for a Wedding

Even 600 miles away, the preparations for the Uncle Jonathan and (soon to be Aunt) Rachel's wedding. This is the result of a day of wonderful shopping with mom. Now, we just wait for Rachel's thumbs up...

Time for a Bath!

It's been a LONG time since the last update. So, to get things rolling again, I won't tell you about the mashed potatoes. But, I will list the top 6 things removed from children's hair over the past 10 years...

Runner up: Half a packet of Cream Cheese (Molly rubbed it into Beah's Back.)
6. Mashed Potatoes (with butter. last week. pictured here.)
5. Chunky, Natural Peanut Butter (Andrew decided to eat peanut butter out of the jar our first day in the apartment in Ocean City, NJ. But every time he dipped his hand and licked it, he then shook off the remaining peanut butter until the he and the kitchen looked like something from 101 Dalmatians.)
4. Gum (Elaina, small portion of hair cut off)
3. Mrs. Butterworth's Maple Syrup (Noah was drinking it on the kitchen floor and had poured it everywhere. I wish we had had a dog at this point.)
2. Experimental Friends (A friend of Elaina's cut her hair for her the day before kindergarten started.)
Drumroll...
1. A Comb (I know combs are supposed to help hair, but Elaina wrapped her hair around one like a curler and there was no way to remove it without 20 minutes cutting up the comb. Very little hair was actually lost due to the surgeon's skill.)
