Sunday Report Card


Papa calls every Sunday to get the report on Katie's total crying time in the nursery. You know we've had some bad weeks if this has become a regular call! If you don't count the crying in the car on the way to church, or the wailing in the parking lot, then today's 5 minute total is not too shabby. That's a 2 hour and 55 minute reduction from her greatest crying triumph at VBS. The picture is after church. Once we pick her up, it's like the tears never happened.

I had to bribe her with her weight in M & M'S and Dum Dum Pops, but Katie now does her "business" in the potty (mostly). We are all so proud!

I told her she HAD to sit in her chair for one picture. Here is the look I got:

boots: the farewell tour

the best boots ever

fit perfectly with thick socks last fall

fit perfectly with tights throughout winter

still sorta fit if feet are jammed, crammed, stomped, and willed into them

katie's got a lot of will

it's painful to watch really

so i decided to put the boots away

here are photos from the farewell jaunt to the park by our house





goodbye, boots

you'll be missed

and remembered
