First Day of School

2nd Grade is here!  Time flies.  Maci is excited for a new adventure as usual and already loves her teacher.  She even got a new haircut.  Doesn't she look so old?!

 Also, football season has begun.  Leave it up to Taylin to kick it off with a glare.  This one was directed at our friend, Mckay.  Get him, Taylin.

Then she'll flash this sweet smile like she's loved you all along.
 
 
She took the duck down in one motion.  Tackle!
In Maci's words, "She's like a miniature human that does actual human things!"

Paige's cool camera face got rave reviews last time, so I'll post some more just for fun.  You go, Paige.

 It's like she's looking into your soul, right?
 
 
 
 
It's true.  I have funny kids.
 
Hope you are all doing well!

Catching Up

Hello to all of you lovely friends and family out there who once believed in my blogging future before I stopped blogging for a year.  Funny how life takes over.  I got on my blogs tonight for the first time in months (going on years) and my posting hiatus stressed me out enough to eat this whole bag of pink yogurt covered pretzels.  They tasted like miniature cherry dip cones.  Worth it.

Anyhoo...in case you care,  here are some pictures from our lives recently.

Maci likes waterslides now

This is what I get when I ask her to pose for the camera...this picture cracks me up.  I have about 10 more that are just as funny...but I had to choose

Our recent trip home to the farm...so pretty out there

I'll have to photoshop her face clean

Maci took to driving the tractor like a pro.  She was not happy to have to go in for dinner.

She has a split personality problem.  She's offended many people at church with this glare..."Oh wow, what a cute baby...OH wow..."  followed by awkward, 'why is she glaring at me?' look directed at me.  And honestly, I don't know.  She just feels like it.  She gets it from me her dad.

These are non-edited.  Probably because I don't yet know HOW to edit and I don't have time to learn.  But still, she's cute.  (9 months)
 
 
 
 
So I hope you've enjoyed knowing that we are still alive after over a year of no blog posts.  And here's to not making empty promises for better efforts to come.  Just trying to keep up with life over here.  :)  Lots of love!!!
