Life

Jordan told me today that I needed to update my blog.  But, I have nothing at all to share.  Life is just going on.  No one wants to hear about the daily activities of school, laundry, dinner, baths, etc..  The only thing remotely interesting is an evening on some friends' property, shooting guns, eating hot dogs and smores.  So, to prove that we are still alive:

The girls were preparing for the bonfire after taking a long walk on the property.  They actually loved playing in the fire.  They weren't actually in it, but enjoyed throwing sticks in it, and catching their own long sticks on fire.  Fortunately, no forest fires occurred due to their curiosity.

Now that Ivy has her braces on, she is starting to give me smiles with her teeth showing.  I think she was embarrassed by her cleft.  It seems most of her pictures are with a closed mouth.  For her sake, I'll be glad when she gets her lip/nose revision surgery.

Besides this lovely feather, Eva collected 42 casings, which she still carries around the house in a red plastic bag.  She's my pack rat.  She knows it.  It controls her.  She cannot help it.  I've pulled rocks from my washer and dryer because of this girl.

Seth and his friend, Anica.  They spent the day clearing and burning brush and riding the 4-wheeler.  Tough day for these 2 kids, I mean young adults.

See.  I told you nothing was going on here in Virginia.
