Day 48

DADDY CALLED THIS MORNING! It was such a great way to start the day! He is back and safe for now. Here are some pictures he took while on this mission. All of these were taken with his camera. The titles are his descriptions.

Gracen and I had fun on our outing today. The mall had a Mother/Daughter look alike contest and I thought it would be fun. I spent most of the day Friday trying to find us something matching to wear and was very disappointed in the local stores. I ended up just buying me a pink shirt the same color as one Gracen already had. When I laid it all out last night to show Gracen what we would wear, she was not happy. She didn't want to wear it! I told her tough. She was going to wear it and have fun.

And we did have fun. We didn't win, but everyone around us said we should have. A grandmother/mother/granddaughter trio won.... but they didn't look anything alike! Oh well! Gracen was so upset we didn't win. She has her daddy's competitive spirit.




Tonight we went to Jazz on the Lawn. There were four women and ten kids. We had a great time! It sprinkled on and off during the evening, but stayed away until after dark. It finally started raining harder and the band started packing up. It took us forever to pack everything up, but thankfully the weather was on our side. Here are some pictures of the group...




Here are two of the kids waiting for everyone to show up. They decided they could see their hand held games better if they were under coats. They looked so silly! But they weren't fighting or whining so I let them be.


Bonus self portrait of Luke and his lovely two front teeth! ;-)
