We had a very LOOONGG week. It started in Jackson, MS with our Nephew Gage's birthday last weekend.

 Here is a video recap of that super fun day!

As for the girls, Julie Ann is getting so big. She tripod sits now. She is very personal and loves to have attention. She laughs out loud without prompts at her sister (It is quite hilarious and Laura Beth just adores it). She stills does not like when it's time to sleep. She also doesn't like to stay asleep. She was sick with a cold last week, so that didn't help the situation of attention and sleep at all. ha! But man, she is so cute! This is a picture of Julie Ann at 5 months old.

And Laura Beth is doing well too. She LOVES her new car, "the big white one with a T.V. in it" as she labels it. It's a kinda lengthy story as to why we have a new car and how it came to be ours, but lets just say we are thankful for the new addition. I miss the van AND the gas price that goes with this Expedition is no fun...but still, I am thankful. Here are a few pictures of her washing the new car (which is something she absolutely LOVES to do). 

This past Sunday, Steve and I came down with the stomach virus at the EXACT same time. We went to the doctor on Monday to rule out food poisoning, as the virus was bad and hit us both at the same time. On Monday night, Laura Beth got it. We are thankful Julie Ann didn't get it. We are loving this fall weather. We look forward to a month full of activities.
