Pumpkin Moon

A friend of ours sent this to me and I thought it was absolutely hilarious! You've been mooned...

Last night...

I was making chocolate Friendship Bread which is Hannah's favorite. I promised to let her eat some before bedtime so she was anxiously waiting for a piece. The timer for the bread went off and Hannah yells, "The Friendship Bread is calling!"

"My butt's cracking up!"

Sometimes Hannah's "butt is cracking up" and decides to "eat" her underpants.

It's the 23rd. You know what that means...

Sammy is 8 months old today! We "celebrated" by going to Oconee State Park with my mom. We had a picnic, played on the playground and walked around the campground. Hannah brought Lulu and pushed her around in her little stroller. Check back this weekend for pictures from the park (I have to wait until Bobby brings Lappy home from work:) We ended the evening by eating supper with Jessie. It was great to spend time with her because we don't get to see her very often.

Samuel's accomplishments to date are...

• Obviously sitting unsupported
• He is on his way to being "potty trained"
  
• He has 3 teeth (two bottom front teeth and one upper eye tooth)
• He can crawl!!
• He's pulling up and we will often find him standing up in his crib
• He can say "Da Da" and "Ma Ma"
• He's starting to imitate sounds...like blowing raspberries
• He's eating solid foods and loves table food...he's also drinking water with his meals.
• Last of all: simply being absolutely adorable and loved by all of us :)
  

Thank you Emily!! - Part II

Recently our neighbor Emily went on a week long trip. These are the gifts she brought back for Hannah & Samuel.

Thank you Emily!! Hannah loves her new plate & cup. And Samuel is so sweet when he cuddles with his blanket - he rubs it on his cheek when he's nursing, it's too cute.

Hannah's new plate.


Hannah loves drinking from her new cup...it's easy to hold with the two handles.

A Birthday & A Family Reunion

It's been a very busy weekend for the Clark Clan!!

Friday was Tommy's 21st birthday so we took him & Bob out to eat. Tommy wanted to eat at Fatz so that's where we ended up going. But being the space cadet that he is, Tommy forget his ID so no alcoholic beverages for him! Bobby told the waitress that it was Tommy's b-day so he got to pick out a free dessert and they all came and sang that dumb birthday song.

Saturday I spent most of the day doing laundry in my new washer & dryer. They aren't brand new but they're new to us. Bobby hooked up everything by himself and he did an excellent job I must say. So, good-bye hot, stinky, cost consuming laundromat!!


Sunday was the Hicks Family Reunion in GA. It's my dad's family and we go every year. It's mostly a lot of older people that I don't know. I can never figure out how I'm related to them either. This year we wore name-tags with our names (of course) and how we were related to the Hicks family (it still didn't help me.) But it's fun to spend time with the family you do know and eat lots of good food!

Samuel shows off his new crawling skills.

Hannah lets Papa & Granny know what she thinks about the "Bluegrass Gospel" music some of our family members insist on performing every year.
