This is a picture that Alexys drew for us on Saturday. We had the 3 kids while Corey helped Amanda move. It has Papa, Dawson, Mammie, Alexys, and Brooklynn in it. Notice that the magnets are the same colors as the picture. She picked them out to match.
Then she had Papa write out this so she could write it on a new piece of paper. We are not exactly sure what she was doing, but I think she was recognizing that we were thanking her for doing such a nice picture for us to hang on the refridgerator.
Some new pictures of the kids. Dawson has his bowl on his foot. Brooklynn is drinking out of a sippy cup (sometimes) and Lexy has on a dress that was mine when I was a kid. She is pretending that she is little red riding hood, with her basket of goodies to take to Grandma's. They have been riding this little red bicycle around and around and around. They are very good about taking turns. However, my walls have a black mark just about 3 feet high all the way around from where the handles rub on the walls. Oh, well, a coat of paint will cover it all. They really have a lot of fun, and they are very careful not to run over Brooklynn. Hope you enjoy the new pictures.
Last night, we experienced a lunar eclipse, the earth came between the sun and the moon. It was an incredible sight. We really wished Dawson could have seen it, but it was way past his bedtime. He really enjoys looking for the moon. (Thanks to his grandfather!) I tried to capture some of the eclipse with my little digital camera. You can see how bright the moon seems before the total eclipse. A while later, the moon got very red, and very eerie. We never saw it when it was totally black, but these 2 pictures were awesome. We enjoyed watching it from the hottub.
