Genetic Link?

This morning, Eric and Austin had to go run an errand, so I stayed home with Ansley......Eric & Austin left at 9 am and by 10:15 Ansley was still not awake so I went into her room and got her up. Mind you that she went to bed right at 8 pm last night and did not stir all night long......my point? Our Cousin Ellen used to sleep like this when she was younger, and I have been known to take my time getting out of bed as well, so we know Ansley has not fallen far from the maternal side of the family tree. The real question is, how long would she have stayed in bed if I had of just left her there? I don't yet want the answer to that question........

Injured

Eric managed a fairly large & painful self-inflicted wound today. He was shortening our kitchen table (which is metal) to accommodate 4 people and no high-chair ;) when the right angle grinder decided his knee cap was just too pretty looking....he had to get a tetanus shot because as you might imagine the grinder was not the cleanest piece of equipment in his tool room and he opted for "superglue" instead of stitches as he is not a fan of pain - can't blame him for that!! So....he will be on the injured list for at least a week or so. Hard to believe I had to convince him to take some Tylenol for the pain; too macho for me!

In other news....Austin went to Grandma & Grandpa B's for the night last night, so we packed his bag with clothes and toys, and I had a glimpse of the future, around this time of year, when he will be going off to school for real!! He just loves this backpack....or in his words packback.

NOT a good picture of either kid, but it was the only one I got of both of them together.

Otherwise, not much to report....my school starts back in a week so we are about to be busy again....oh those dog days of summer are just too much fun sometimes ;)

Random Pics

Ansley caught off guard...

Austin, out for another drive....

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do..." or when in Georgia do as the Georgians do and make home made peach cobbler, tastes as good as it looks ;)

Grandma B. buys these kids some great shoes, but these have to be my all time favorite for Ansley, do they get any cuter? I want a 6.5 for myself - kidding ;)

Austin's obsession with Thomas is not waining anytime soon, while on vacation from Mom & Dad he went to a little town in North or South Carolina that has been made over into a Sodor Island (Thomas's home) and he just LOVED it!! Here are his pjs he got from there - you can't see it but he has matching underwear, as he is still potty trained!!! I pinch myself every time he says, Mommy I have to go potty and takes off running to the bathroom all by himself!!

Her, mid-walk - my only way to prove she is walking as I cannot figure out how to load videos to this blog......I am still a bit technologically challenged.

Have a great week!
