Family

Here is a sneak preview of 2 of our family photos that Christy took for us in September. Thank you Christy once again! And thank you Mandy for the cute shirts the girls were wearing!

Emily's Birthday Cake

Here are pictures of the fabulous cake that Mandy made for Emily's birthday. It was AWESOME! Even though it melted and was tilting by the time it got to our house, Mandy was able to fix it and we absolutely loved it! Thanks again Mandy!

Hula Hoop

Emily got a hula hoop for her birthday from Aunt Christy.

Even Megan really enjoy it!

Ballerina

Megan was given a tutu at her baby shower. So I dolled her up and let her play.

Reading

I guess Megan is jealous that Emily is learning to read. So David gave Megan her own book and sat her in Emily's chair.

She thinks reading is tasty!

Sewer Problems

In August we experienced our first HUGE problem as homeowners. Granted, we've had plumbing problems a few other times this year, but none of the other problems have cost this much. Our plumbing pipes were completely filled by roots. We're not sure if it was from our neighbor's tree or the one from our property that was removed a few years ago, but the roots wiggled their way in and started taking control and destroying our old cast iron pipes. We had to have about 40 feet of pipe replaced - from our house to under the street where it connects to the city. It took the plumbing company 14 hours to dig up the yard and replace the pipes. But it is now done and we don't have to worry about the sewer backing up into our bathtub any more.
