Catching You Up

Cute Kat
Kat's car
Carl receiving his 1st award with Ron in background.

The same week that I took the previous ballerina pictures, the other kids had their Pinewood Derby race. Kat got 2nd in her group (all Faith in God girls) and Carl got 1st in his group (his Boy Scout troop) and 2nd out of everyone. Nothing broke off making the car inoperable and the wheels spun fast, so it was a successful year with a fun time had by all. Carl had his best buddy "Ron" (bright blue shirt) come and compete too, they had fun working on their cars and then racing them together.

Maglet went on her 5 year old trip with Gramma Christie to Disney World that she has been looking forward to since, oh...birth. They had a terrific time together as you can see. It was a quiet week for those of us at home without her "jibber-jabber" entertainment and Eddie's teasing. Thanks for the magical memories Gramma!

Lucy learns the "HIGH FIVE"

And "GIMME 10"

She had her "operation" yesterday and is home now recuperating. We were missing her last night, it's funny how much a good pet becomes a part of the family and are glad she's home with us again. Jeff is wondering if we should give her a more genderless name such as Lou, now that's she's "fixed" and Carl said to me last night, "Yaaay, now I have a brother" Ummm no, but she's one step closer I suppose.

And lastly, for anyone interested in the on-going hair experiements happening here, I found that my previous shampoo made my hair look dark and dull (generic something or other...many thought I'd colored my hair darker) and my newest shampoo (Garnier Fructus) gives my hair shine and luster (even my stylist asked yesterday if I'd gotten highlights). Weird thing doncha think?
