What we've been up to

Finally, we are back up and running. A lot has happened since our last post. Evie is preparing for her first year at college and Annalise is studying hard for the driver's Test coming up. Sometimes it seems that way. Evie is becoming a real little girl and has come up with some interesting points of conversation lately. Most recently, her obsesion is with heavy construction equipment and occasionally farm implements. Annalise is crawling, climbing, and standing on her own. She is a total monkey. Evie had her last soccer practice. Yeah! No more sitting in the middle of a sunny field of dirt when it's about 100 degrees. She misses it though and is comtimplating either dance class (clogging or polka?) or gymnastics.
Mass 3 and 4 year old soccer chaos. Look for the orange shorts. She wore them EVERY week so I could see her better.
Annalise was always a sport at soccer practice. She tried to eat all the dead grass.
A couple of weeks ago, I went to DC to visit my friend Erica. I had one objective while I was there. It was to see some water that didn't have a fountain in the middle to prevent the algae growth (very common in Indiana). Erica took me to Annapolis, MD and we walked around the Naval Academy and saw real water with real boats in them. We even took a boat ride. It was a great relaxing weekend.
Monkey see, monkey do.
Then we went to the Hamilton county fair. It was a true 4-H fair with not much more than animals, 4-H projects and a few food stands. Oh, and tractors. we had to check out all the tractors, of course. Here's Linky in the combine wheel.
Evie and dad dreamed about a garden tractor. At least this has a better chance of fitting in the garage.
We did manage to find an ice cream while we were there.

This past Sunday, cousin Hank stopped by on his way back to Madison after a week with his Grandpa and Grandma Cooper. He had a popcicle all by himself. He also got hosed down when he was finished. By the way, Evie did her hair all by herself.
Hank and Evie swing. Hey, did you hear that Hank is going to be a big brother?
Today, the girls wore matching PJ's. How embarassing.

Annalise still only has 2 bottom teeth. We think that all four of her uppers will break through about the same time. She has that teething drool rash right now all over her chin. Or maybe she just ate too much grass and leaves while she was outside today.
