Williamson County Fair 2010

Even though this summer has been hot, hot, hot we still took our annual trip to the county fair. It was a blast as usual - my favorite exhibit is Little One's Farming. The kids get to walk through planting their crops, gathering their crops, tending the animals, selling their crops and then receiving a "dollar" to spend in the store on something produced at the farm or using farm products. Claire rode some rides, Caden went on the Ferris Wheel with Nick, and Caden is the proud owner of a monkey prize. Daddy was kind enough to help Caden be ripped off, I mean win, a prize. It was a game where Caden threw darts at balloons. Mommy was annoyed at the wasteful spending but got over it - eventually. Thanks to Aunt Lauren for being our photographer.

8 months old

Due to my continued lack of a camera (thanks Claire, February) I have relied on the kindness of others for my pictures - thus no 6 or 7 month pictures of the babies. Not that people weren't kind in months 6 and 7...just no photo opps. So here they are - 8 months old last week. This is a perfect picture of them - Dane is the finger sucker and Drew prefers the pacifier. They can both sit up and do the army crawl. Drew sometimes will crawl properly but is so much faster army style that he will change mid-adventure. We've noticed that Drew is about a month faster in physical fitness tasks - he is also pulling up to a standing position with regularity. Dane is just a bit more laid back. I think he's my sensitive, calm child. 1 out of 4 isn't bad I guess! They're both over 19 pounds and are eating solid food 2x a day. Sweet, sweet boys.
