They call her grandma Rue because her name is LaRue. That is Cassidy in the brown. She is my cousin Joel's daughter from SC.
This is Ethan. He lives there in PA just around the corner. He is my cousin Kevin's son. And so mannerly and sweet. He was so nice to my girls and they played great together for really not knowing each other.

" Hey, Someones in here! Take a number!!"
Hope in the nursery at church


My mom
It took a lot of work to get this picture. I thought I would show you how Hope really felt about the whole picture taking process.
Would someone please help me!!!!

"Good Boy! Here now eat my Teddy Grahams and don't tell Mommy or Grandma I'm sharing, ok?"
It's 4:30 am and Heidi asked, "Where are we going?" When we told her she was going home she bawled her little eyes out. Evidently it didn't click when I told her the day before.
She was too tired to cry and she is getting old enough now to be tough like I have had to do. It's hard. I hate being away from Home. She also knows we'll be back. Heidi has a hard time understanding life will go back to normal. She'll be fine and there will be more visits.
The tallest and oldest girl (on my right) was my flower girl in my wedding.
Thier oldest son was a ring bearer but the boys weren't in the picture. Just us girls.
Want to know it's significance??
That's right, Ty Pennington was in my Hometown. It may not be a big deal to some, But I thought it was awesome! Did you see the size of the neighbor's house?
Big difference uh?

Hallie woke up and said goodbye when we went to the car.
Pop-pop took us to the airport
