Let Them Eat Dirt

It started with a little taste...

Then the realization that this was not the expected taste.

There really is no way to backtrack a mouthful of dirt!

First Day of School

Yes. I am still documenting Madison's first day of school, much to her chagrin. She is much happier looking than she probably was feeling about posing for the first day picture. Notice we no longer photo op outside in case of any possible fellow middleschooler sightings.
Middle school....and so it begins!

Happy Father's Day

It's a healthy, baby......

BOY!
Yes, the arrow is pointing to his jewels. Of course, they she could have told us he was holding an umbrella and I would have said "oh, I think I see it!"
For those of you who are familiar with Matt's facial expressions...he was holding Harper and when our nurse made the announcement he looked like a five year old on Christmas morning. Priceless.

Here is his profile...already a looker!
Note to those who are as sonogram illiterate as me...this pic is on its side and he is facing the right hand side of the screen. So his head is at the bottom of the picture and then it goes up and shows his belly. Just turn your head a bit to the right and don't try so hard or you won't be able to find him!

Splish Splash

Harper Belle played in her splash pool this past week. Of course, in typical Thornton style the food came first...

This is about as close to the water as she was willing to get. It was a little chilly (cut us some slack...we are still getting used to this northern weather!)

The rest of the time was spent dumping the bubbles and playing in the mud puddle (gingerly.)
