A Bundle of Myrrh

This weekend was our county fair. We decided to go on over to it. We left Clara with our neighbor since we figured she wouldn’t get much out of it this year. We thought Lily would love to see the exotic animals at the Wildlife Exhibit but she was much more entertained by the humans around us to notice the Hissing Cockroaches and the Lemur. She seemed to notice the Kangaroo at least.


Uh, then we tried the “petting” zoo where there was ABSOLUTELY no petting on Lily’s part. I can’t say that I blame her though, that Pony’s got devil eyes! (enlarge the picture to see what I mean if you dare.)

And this was the biggest horse I’ve ever seen in my life. And I’ve seen a lot of horses. I was afraid of this gal! My camera died after this picture so sorry you can’t get the full effect of just how big this horse was.
After a couple hours Lily was cranky and ready to get home. We’ll try again next year when I just know she’ll be in a better mood!

Cousin Rachel answers the call! Or my whining about not having any Bama gear.

That’s Bama, as in Ala-Bama. Not Bama as in O-Bama. I just wanted to clear that up for any of you wondering as Phil did.


Rachel, Clara liked her shirt, she just makes this face a lot when she’s sitting this close to her sister.

Twins! Aren’t they sweet?

Is it normal for a baby to be this “chill” in her highchair?

Is it normal for a baby to be this cute???

More corn for supper.

Clara’s getting big and strong. I don’t think Lily held her head up this well at this age.

Lily loves wearing my flip flops.

I couldn’t believe when I saw her trying to put these beads back together. She almost had it then she picked up her bottle and well, who can drink a bottle and put snap beads back together?

Lily has so much fun with the matrushka dolls Neil and Verna brought back from Alaska for her.

*Interesting note:

Russian Matrushka Dolls—A Traditional Symbol of Motherhood

Among Russian peasants, the name Matryona or Matriosha was a popular female name. The Latin root “mater” means mother. These names are associated with the image of a portly woman presiding over a large Russian family.

Hmmmmm. Am I supposed to see some connection here guys?

Here’s me and Lily being silly.
