Whipped Cream Kiss

We had whipped cream piled on top of our cookies.
We schmeared it on our lips and kissed.
Then it got silly.

The day of surgery, June 11, 2008. Q moves to the chair! WOO HOO!

Post Op Day 1: June 12, 2008: Look Ma, no nose hoses! Q walks for the first time! Soon everyone will be carrying catheter bags- the hottest new handbags around!

Keep praying that we will win the battle with chemo treatments!

Ben and Rachel tied the knot on Friday, June 6th in a lovely ceremony atop Monte Sano Mountain. We couldn't be happier at Ben's match! Rachael has been family for a long time, but now it's more official!

Maddie was bestowed with the honor of being a flower girl in the ceremony. She did a good job. She was second in beauty only to the bride and a certain bridesmaid who had a certain "glow" about her.

It was wonderful to be part of the weekend! To be surrounded by family- nothing better!

Flower Girls love their Grandmas, too!

They borrow Sydney to get Melissa's "fix." They would look good with their own, though!

What a handsome fella! Surrounded by beautiful girls!

They really wanted to open the presents at the reception!

They played chase on the dance floor!

We're famous!

Ok. Not really. We had a connection to Huntsville Times through our neighbor. They called for parents of new babies to share their "hopes and dreams" for their new bundle of joy in their Growing Up Magazine. This is the Maternity 2008 Issue. It's free and available all over town at baby stuff retailers.

Our scanner is on the fritz, so I hope the picture will be good enough. It SHOULD be available to read online, but I can't find it yet. We will include that link when we can.

A typical day...

We are good entertainment. And one more instance proving that Indie is the best family dog in the world!

The real "Baby Einstein..."

Her hair was all mussed after a nap. We saw a striking resemblence to Albert.

Of course, she's going to be a genius, too!

Our First Trip to the Pool! 2008

Sydney donned a mermaid bikini for her first trip to our neighborhood pool. She tolerated the "big" pool. She held on tight, that's for sure!

Maddie and Sydney BOTH enjoyed the baby pool even more.

Q and Syd... hangin' out in the kiddie pool!

Nemo towel!

Worms and Caterpillars!

no... not bubbles- a CATERPILLAR!

He's furry and cute! "Can I take him in the house?" - No.

Poor Guy. He had a rough day. He'll be glad when he can fly away from Maddie's little hands!

WORMS! At the beginning of the day Maddie was a little nervous about the worms... she didn't want to hold them. She wanted ME to hold them so she could see them. "Herman the Worm."

Maddie got over that pretty fast. Before long she was picking them up with her bare hands and carrying them ALL OVER our yard. She gave them baths in her toys. Whad a day!
