Grandparent's Day and New Tricks

Recently our community celebrated our annual Dove Festival. Every Labor Day weekend in our small town the Chamber of Commerce sponsors a festival to kick off the dove hunting season. Most of the time the weather is hot, but this year was cool and pleasant. It was a good thing, too. Taylor ran his first 1 mile Fun Run and finished up in the top third or so. Several of his classmates ran with him and it looks like we might have another cross country runner in the family! Oh, no!

This week was grandparents day at the elementary school so we asked Taylor what he wanted us to bring him for lunch. He wanted a ham and cheese sandwich (with a little mayo on it!) from Subway, regular Sun chips and ice tea! It was a fun time and we got to see tons of people our age that we don't see very often.

Presley stays with us on Fridays and her grandmother BeBe has been teaching her how to pick up marbles with her toes! Presley likes to play with these big marbles and now she can pick them up while standing. It entertained her for hours. And, it might come in handy sometime. Besides, it gave us a break from watching the Wizard of Oz!
