the last days of summer

what we've been up to...

Dave's still beatin' his drums...
although they've been stuffed for the sake of Mom's sanity!


Lauren is recovering from a long week fighting Roseola. She had a high fever for 5 days and felt pretty crummy. Thankfully she's pretty much back to her sweet, stubborn self.

This incident occured AFTER I had just vacuumed the living room and was working on

the bathroom. Thank you Davey! Yes, that is cheese puff powder smeared all over the

coffee table.

We had a camp fire and Davey really loved his s'more!

Lauren is SO big!

whose idea was this?

God help me!

Through the years...our VERY special friends!

5 1/2 years ago...these were my "babies".

Tuesday morning we got up early to see

these very special friends get on the bus to

go to school. This year, Charlie started

Kindergarten and we couldn't miss his big day!

Kisses for Maddie... Have fun in 3rd grade!

Hugs for Henry...4th graders are cool!

All my "babies"... Look how big!

Henry, Maddie and Charlie are SOOO very special to me

and Davey and Lauren adore them too!!!

They were so fun as babies but they seem to get more

wonderful as time goes on. We miss seeing you everyday

but always look forward to the special times we do have

together. Hugs and kisses for our very special friends.

Love,

Jess, Davey and Lauren

p.s. Thanks for the delicious heart cookie you made us Maddie!

You are one fine baker and someday you will be the best

babysitter for Davey and Lauren!!!
