Reasons to Celebrate

Man is it difficult to post each week when you have to work! It seems like it has been forever. School is going well, though with my new schedule of leaving school right after the bell I haven't figured out how I am supposed to get any papers graded!!

Davey turned 5 months old on Labor Day. We had a great long weekend. Hannah came back to the US after being in Japan for 3 years. Now she is off to England for a stint. Davey was happy that he fit into his Japanese outfit (which is meant for one-year-olds in Japan!) Of course our little antique festival went on that weekend, too. I found the most unique bed for Davey ever! It is an old Murphy bed (you know it pulls up into a cabinet) but made for a toddler! Too cute!

You also see another Labor Day tradition in the picture with Davey, Josh, and Josh's dad David. For 74 years the men of Vernon have gone out to camp and play cards and do other manly things in the woods. Josh's grandfather was one of the orginial guys. Now Davey is part of the tradition. When Josh found out that we were having a boy one of him first comments was about him being the next generation of the Cherry Park Campers. (Actually in the picture Davey is screaming...not smiling...)

Then the last picture was taken just this past wekend at the Courtfest in Scottsburg (my hometown). There you see my mom and dad set up to sell jewerly that mom makes at the festival. I think she ended up doing quite well and I got to see a few friends from high school. It is always fun to have a chance to show off babies to each other!

Josh is filling his weekends with golf scrambles while I struggle to stay on top of the mountain of ungraded papers and dirty glassware from labs during the week. It has got to get easier, right?
