REWIND to 4th of July

For the Fourth, I bought Genavie a cute little dress to go with some adorable red patent leather shoes I had. She hates wearing shoes, but I hoped she'd cooperate, at least for pictures...

Here I am, happy, patriotic, shoeless!











Hmm, I ditched the hat but mom somehow got this stupid shoe on me...













I hate shoes! Now I'm considering a tantrum.













So Mom gives in and takes the shoe off...


You may have taken off the shoe but I'm still mad!













Now the HAT is back??













Meltdown!

And that is the story of the little red shoe that only got worn for two minutes.

As for the Fourth of July, we had a glorious time playing at Grandma's house - hatless and shoeless.

Blog under new management... scary!

Thank you so much, Geri, for starting this blog for Genavie! Now that I am taking over, I fear the quality (and quantity) may not be as good, but here it goes. :)

We will miss you!

I wish we weren't having to stop tending! It is really sad when I see things like the play pin in Kaleb's room where she slept & think I have to put it away now, or thinking about putting away the walker again. We will really miss loving on her! It was so fun to have a little baby around. Briana and Kaleb are both going to be in school now so that is why I decided to get a job. It has been 4 1/2 years since I have worked & even though it has been wonderful being home with my kids we have sacrificed a lot to do it. So it will be nice having a second income once again but it will be a huge change for us to get use to. I am so sorry that me working is making it to where we can't have your sweet baby here anymore. We have really enjoyed her & want to thank you for trusting us with your little angle. I know it must have been hard when she was so tiny at first. I hope you don't mind if we always stop you at church to talk to her.

Love,

Geri, Briana, & Kaleb

(and Chris too :)

PS - I will get the blog changed to your email & then you can continue the blog :) We will be looking at it all the time!!!
