Party

Last weekend we went to Birmingham for my brother's birthday. I left my camera at my sister's house so I haven't been able to post anything to the blog this week. But my kind brother mailed my camera to me and I got it back yesterday!

Before discussing the festivities I must comment on the previous post about Emily with her scissors. Don't give her any ideas on cutting her hair! One day last week I had to work while she was at home and when I was done there were a million tiny little pieces of paper all over the living room floor. She had also cut one of her necklaces into several pieces and had started in on cutting some cloth off of one of her teddy bears. But what can I say, the girl played quietly while I worked. Thanks goodness she didn't think about cutting any hair!

My brother Robert always loves to celebrate his birthday with friends so we went to his house last Saturday night. Everyone brought their favorite finger food to celebrate and when it got time to eat, Robert came out of the kitchen and said, "Hey Dad I forgot to get plates, napkins, cups, and ice . . . can you go get some?" Crazy boy!!!!! :
Abigail slept on the floor in Robert's guest room and the rest of the children watched a movie in Robert's room while the adults had fun playing C@tch Phrase . . . one of my favorites!

We also got to meet the newest members of my sister's family . . . as if Michelle doesn't have enough to do already with 3 children . . . they now have 2 puppies!
These crazy mutts got out of the fence while I was there and started running thru the woods on the side of their property. So Sarah and I went running back there to get them and kept having to jump over a little creek amongst all the woods . . . Sarah got both dogs back safe and sound.

Abigail enjoyed seeing PawPaw and DeeDee:
. . . . and she enjoyed watching her cousins make funny faces. Watch her laughing at Sarah and Sam in this video:

Love the video! Talon cut through one of my lawn chairs one morning. I slept late (I was preg. with Terrin). I thought Talon was watching TV. I guess he didn't understand that phrase "George is a monkey, and he can do things we can't do . . ."
