Girl cousins

These girls are close in age and so sweet to each other! It is fun to watch them play and have fun!

Labor Day to Minnesota

We spent Labor Day in Minnesota visiting John's family. They so rarely get together, we try to make the most of it. The weather wasn't very cooperative, but we still had a great time visiting.

It is especially fun to see the kids play with their cousins! They range from 2-16 years, but they find a way to play!

I'm behind

I feel like I already posted this, but it is next in line of pictures.

I am behind in blogging, behind in our picture albums, behind in sewing and folding laundry.

I'm also behind on my reading. This is the magazine is in my bag of car reading material. It is from October 2009!

September 1- Gemma's first day of school

September 1 was Gemma's first day of preschool for this year! She will be in a three year old classroom 2 days a week. She has several friends from last year and is very excited!

Sunday Girl Scout camping

I started writing about this in October. It's taken me until December to get back to it! I'm going to keep plugging away at it as I want the memories kept somewhere.

Sunday of our Girl Scout camping trip was a beautiful morning. I was grumpy as I didn't sleep much. I would guess most of the adults were in the grumpy camp with me.

Amelia? Amelia was a ray of sunshine. She had slept all night soundly and work up delighted.

She was thrilled to be able to sweep out the wagons before we left. She was delighted to have the opportunity to mop.

Somewhere in the shuffle, she found a foamy clown nose she found in our stuff (how did it get there? I have no idea). She thought this was hilarious and wore it for most of the morning. She ran around the campsite greeting her friends and giggling like crazy.
