Tru must have had a hard day at school today. She’s been sleeping like this, in the chair Papa and Nana gave her for Christmas, for an hour now!

I found this picture on my phone today. I had forgotten about it! This is Tru in her nitrous oxide mask. Her dentist called her “Rudolph.”

Tru got a new bedroom before Heidi was born, and it was just now clean enough today for me to take pictures of it! It only took me 19 months. I took about 20 pictures and made a collage of them.

Das pumpkin.

Tru and Heidi had adorable matching Halloween outfits on yesterday that they received from Papa and Nana. I had to get a few pictures, including these:

We got Tru’s school pictures back today, and they are so cute! If anybody wants any, let me know what sizes and how many. Note that the lightish discoloration that starts above her left eye (your left) and extends rightward into the background is not in the picture, it’s on my scanner.

Update: Remember to let me know if you want any pictures! I’ve only gotten one order so far.

We had lots of fun last weekend in Hot Springs, AR with Papa and Nana! It was Heidi’s first time on the lake and Tru’s second. Tru caught three fish with Papa and went tubing with Nana. Mike and I water skiied for the first time ever. Mike was much better at it than me. He stood up 2 out of 3 times. I tried 10+ times and only got up 3 or 4 times. Nana was a pro. Heidi was thrilled with the ducks and still keeps asking to feed them. She says, “Dut? Dut?” Mike has video that may go up here later, but for now, you will have to make do with the pictures.

New pictures of Tru and Heidi in matching outfits, Tru’s first soccer practice, and Tru’s first soccer game. Both teams did great, scoring about 4 goals each, and Tru scored one for her team!

I’m a redhead, and I love it! Before and after pictures:

This picture of Tru was taken at dinner tonight. Look how old she looks. I can’t believe she’s growing up so fast!
