Halloween 2008

"Dorthy" made it around the block on Halloween night - enough to stop at the neighbors' and give them high five (Kyra's new favorite social greeting). Toto is a bit shy, but he's in the basket, somewhere! Thanks to Grandma Carol for making the costume!

PowerPuff Girls

Homecoming week brings out the best in the students... er, the teachers at Chiddix Junior High. So, during this "Spirit Week," we celebrated "Super Hero Day." Just how did I get roped into being Buttercup, the tomboy of the Power Puff Girls? Well, I might need new friends! Below you'll see Blossom (Jill Borroughs), Bubbles (Dana Curby), and Buttercup (Kelly) in their cartoon form and the real-life form!

Tanner's Orchard Visit

Kyra recently made her first visit to Tanner's Orchard. The weather was great and Kyra had fun playing. Although feeding the goats was, "Yuck," her first taste of apple cider was "Mmmmmm."

Kyra Sept 2008

Today was Kyra's 18 month check-up... apparently she's a very normal, healthy girl, who talks, and talks, and talks, and talks. She only had to get one shot, which didn't seem too bad... since she cried for 10 seconds, then looked the nurse square in the eye and said, "Ouch!" For being such a trooper during her appointment, she got to enjoy a few M&M's, then had her picture taken. Just what happened to BABY Kyra, anyway?

Kyra's Playground

The former owners of the new house were kind enough to leave a new play set. Kyra seems to be in heaven and could "sing and side" (swing and slide) for hours.

Pudding at Grandma's

Kyra stayed with Grandma & Grandpa Griffith while we moved to the new pad. Kyra claims she had chocolate pudding for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day while at G & G's house!

Packing Up

We've never experienced packing up and moving with an infant. Someone help us out here.... is this the proper way to pack one up?
