Yesterday afternoon Garry went golfing with some guys in the ward. It was a " best ball scramble" event, where four guys made a team and took turns on each hole. Garry's team made par on every hole. Then, on the last shot of a nine-hole course, Garry sunk a 20-foot put and got a birdie for his team. As he was one of the last to play that round, most of the five teams were watching as he made his final shot. What a hero!
Then he had to get a ride home because he locked his keys in his trunk. Even knights in dirty old cars have to be rescued sometimes.
Tyler, ever the sensitive child, asked me today why my tummy was still so big even though Kate is on the outside now. A thousand thoughts floated through my head, but I ended up making some remark about regaining my former shape over the next few months.
Tyler's response: "A few months? I was hoping for next week."
Me too, buddy. But thanks for the interim shot of self-esteem.
Betsy got a makeover yesterday. It included adding stuffing and re-stitching an open seam. She is significantly fluffier but really needs a bath...and apparently her own car seat.
Lexi has started saying prayers all by herself. They are completely adorable. She has taken to saying "...and bless Jesus to be nice."
Despite his assertion that he's the "slowest reader ever," Zachary devoured the first Harry Potter book in just a few days.
Kate has regained her birth weight and is a whopping 6 pounds, 9 ounces at two weeks old. She eats every three hours, is learning to distinguish between day and night, tolerates bath time, and is our only child to avoid jaundice.
Gavin can write his name and color within the lines.
As is customary at this house, we slept with the windows open last night. The outdoor temperature this morning was a brisk 48 degrees. So, for the first time in months, we aren't running fans. The Littles also ate breakfast in their coats.
And I got a haircut.
True story.

your hair looks cute! and lexi's prayers are too funny. ethan says some pretty great stuff too-although nothing along those lines! :)
Um, having been there so recently, I can just see and hear them saying/doing those things. Love your hair, love you all, and miss your guts. Someday when Tyler has a wife he will learn not to mention the after the baby bulge. No worries. I think you look great, btw.
We DO have the same haircut! Those scrambles are Adam's favorite kind of golf tournaments.
Cute haircut! Sounds like you're enjoying the cool weather as much as we are. It's time for the excessively hot summer to be over!
I think you look BEAUTIFUL! Your kids are hilarious. The Zach and Tyler stories in this edition are both cracking me up.
Lexi is so darling in that outfit, oh my GOODNESS, and I'm still just delighted to see Kate out in your arms where she belongs!
9 months in 9 months out!
CUTEEEEE hair. love me some burrito kate. ♥
I don't see the cute mama often enough. Love the cut! And look at you with that sweet baby!
