Snow Day

Paul finally got his wish on Friday; it was an early dismissal snow day.

 Gertie went out to inspect the snow.

 Yep.  That's snow.

 Can we go in now?

 I'm done.  I'm really done.

 The boys spent most of the day outside.  They went down the street in search of partners in snow-crime.

 I'm a girl.  I really don't understand why you need an ax in the snow, but Paul assures me he does.

TJ also vacuumed for me because he said I shouldn't have to work on my birthday.

The Amazing 8th Birthday Party

Emery and TJ share a birthday: January 31, 2007.  This year, they decided to share a party.  It would be a laser tag party with the WHOLE CLASS!  

The kids prepare for a laser battle.

 Happy Birthday, Dear Emery

 Happy Birthday

 To You!

 Why, I think you've got something on your face there.

 Yes, just there.

 The guests brought canned and boxed foods to donate to the Legacy Church of Christ Food Pantry.  They filled a laundry basket and four reusable grocery bags.

Emery and TJ stocked the shelves at the food bank with the donated items.

 Thanks for making our party amazing and for your generous donations!

Picture Re-creation

Uncle David and Aunt 'Nise sent a photograph of Edwina and Coker along with TJ's birthday present.  Coker is about TJ's age in the picture and it is amazing how much TJ favors Coker.  Look closely and notice they're both shirtless; the similarities are more than just in appearance.

 It is such a sweet photograph, I suggested Coker and TJ re-create it.  Here's what they did…
