Recently
As a favor to my friend Tricia, I am posting some pictures of recent happenings in our family: my new highlights, Peter and Andrea at swimming lessons, Sam baby powdering the chair, Claire getting bigger and smiling. Enjoy!
Fair and Not Fair
Today is the start of the 3 day event of the Madison County Fair. I'm totally bummed because I decided to enter my awesome strawberry-raspberry jam, but they did all the entering last night. I don't know why I thought they would do all that this morning. I'm so sad. My jam is really pretty and tastes so awesome! Rats. Oh well, now I know they do all their entering on the Wednesday before the fair. So unfair.
The kids are really excited though; they've been waiting for the fair for a long time. For those of you who have been to my house, you know that I live across the street from the Madison County Fairgrounds. That makes it convenient when you want to attend an event there, but kind of, well, noise-ish, but not noisy. For example, I had all my windows open this morning, and decided to finally close them because all the ambient noise consisted of "baaaaaa,......................baaaaaaa". At other times, I can hear horse whinnys and things of the like, because the parking lot for all the pickups and horsetrailers is behind my house. I really don't mind it, because then my kids can see a bunch of different animals without taking them anywhere. The circus came to town and presented at the fairgrounds, and we could see the elephants from my front window. So, I guess that's a fair trade for all the animal noises. Besides, I'll take the animal noises over road traffic anyday!
A side note: I just love my kids. While I'm on the subject of fair and not, it probably isn't "fair" that I have been so blessed. My kids are all healthy, good kids, and they are so loving. Then again, since we are the ones that feed, love, care for, teach, look after them, etc., then I guess it is only "fair" that Tom and I should be the ones to get the most enjoyment from being with them. :)
