A family photo....

Nora had her 6 month pictures taken by Jodi Carr last weekend. Jodi was kind enough to send us this one via email so I could print one off for Nora's school (they have family pictures up at her school). Jodi did a great job again! www.jodiannphotography.com

Nora's 1st day of school

Nora started to go to school/daycare on Tuesday's & Thursday's. Last Tuesday was her first day. Naturally, I had mixed emotions. I know it is good for her to meet little friends, be around other people, have social interaction etc... But I still was sad. I held it together when we left Nora in the room. She was smiling etc. I felt great! Then we were speaking with the owner and she said "you guys are really doing good." At that moment, the tears were streaming down my face. I got in the car and cried my way to work. I saw my mom and started to cry... Anyways, I am good now. Nora was so happy (and tired) when I picked her up. She was happy to go back on Thursday.

Nora turned 6 months old on Tuesday! She went to the doctor for her check-up. She weighs 14 lbs. 4 ozs. She is 25 1/4 inches tall and is developing wonderfully. We are so proud of her.


All smiles while waiting for the doctor. She even smiled at the nurse who gave her the shots!

Happy Labor Day 2007!

Happy Labor Day ya'll! We headed to Crosslake for the weekend. We did a lot of eating, relaxing in the sun and enjoying life! Pete and I made the mistake of going to bed at 315 (me) and 345 (Pete) on Saturday night. We were a little tired with our 7 am alarm in our room! Here are some photos... Enjoy!


Nora laughing at the teddy bear tickling her.Don't I look like the cutest "princess" ever. I love my sweats J & J!



Did someone say sweet potatoes???
YUM!
Hurry Dad, I am starving.... Get me more, please!
Watch your fingers!
I love these sweet potatoes.... more! Gobble.


Clearly Nora did not get enough sweet potatoes so she had to go for the ketcup when we ate dinner.


Passed out after dinner....


Nora and Grandpappy
Nora was in her life jacket all day. She was excited to lay on the table and kick!


The only reason this photo made the blog is because Nora looks adorable in it. Too bad I couldn't crop me out! Check out my abs.Lissie and Nora chillin' on the boat

This life jacket is cool and safe but it is not all that comfortable!

We brought Nora to the "hot spot" or "party island" she enjoyed taking a dip.She was a little tired after partying at the hot spot

Sweet Princess, Nora, not me.
