First Smile!

Carter is starting to smile :-)

Baldie's

We have a cone of bald faced hornets forming on our upstairs bathroom window. Check it out! Tap on the window and they demonstrate what they would do if they could pass through the window. (I think that Amy is planning to tick them off and open the window while I am in the shower!) The nest location provides for a great "window" into the lives of those little buggers as you can actually see the larvae moving around in the cells. I attached a pic - as I thought you would find it cool.

Carter at 36 days

Just wanted to post and update as Carter has changed so much since our last post.

Showtyme wins Adair County 4-H Reserve Champion Market Lamb

Laura wins her first "major" with Showtyme. It has been long time coming but on Tuesday, July 14th, Laura won at the NEMO Fair.

The 4th of July weekend brought plenty of visitors and fun. The Smiths, Cousin Nancy, Uncle Mark and family as well as Granny and Grampy all came to pay Carter a visit. Uncle Mark sprung for some awesome fireworks and put on a great show despite the rain on Saturday night.
