Riley Grace is a fourth grader (a straight A 3rd grader-all year). Maggie Ruth is potty trained, sleeping in a big bed and without a paci. Jack is topping the scales at a hefty 18 lbs. Russell is finally cutting wheat. And I'm... well, still running around in circles. Another school year has ended. Vacation Bible School has begun. Church Softball is in full swing. It is hot and SUNNY outside. Thank you Lord for the sunshine (and the SONshine)! Thats just a short update of life here on the farm. I just cannot find time to sit down and update this blog very often although I have TONS I'd love to share... so here's an abbreviated version of the last month.

Riley Grace hasn't left for Brian's yet so she and Maggie Ruth have had some serious sister time! If only everyone could have a big sister like her...go cart rides, swinging HIGH, playing house or WalMart or whatever else Maggie thinks up, sidewalk chalk, swimming at Grandmama's, riding the combine with Daddy, four wheeler excursions all over the farm...

...and this big fat bundle of sweet sugar is taking it all in. In his regular laid back fashion, he doesn't miss a move his sisters make. I'm hoping a little tooth is about to make its grand debut otherwise he's going to gnaw my finger off. Thank you Aunt Kathy for Jack's shirt. It says "Jack's Gas Station" and although it wasn't meant this way, he is definately a little "gas station!" Happy Summer to EVERYONE!!!
