Where has the time gone?!?

We have been busy little bees lately and I can't even remember what we did last week, much less a month ago (this 'lack-of-memory' trait is wonderful....thanks Mom!).  Shay is still enjoying school and recently started taking Spanish lessons.  Her teacher felt that she was ahead of the rest of the class, so Spanish seemed like a good supplement.  She knows all of her greetings, and can say most of the alphabet already!  So smart she is....I have a feeling this is not going to be good later on in life (haha).  Ethan is still plugging along....climbing on the furniture, sitting on top of the easel, attempting to remove himself from his crib....you know, the usual.  It amazes us how different boys are than girls and how he just knows what boys are supposed to do.  He also collects David's tools and tries to 'fix' things! 

Our county fair was a couple weeks ago and Shay showed another Daisy in the pee-wee showmanship contest.  (Side note: For those of you that do not know....Shay calls all of the calves "Daisy", no matter how big or small, what color, or breed.  And, she does understand that we eat cows, and she is OK with that as long as the meat that we eat does not come from "Daisy." )  They did not place them, but I thought that she did really well! She didn't need my help at all and maintained control of her "Daisy"!

 So, she got a blue ribbon and was as happy as could be about that! Another wonderful thing that came home with us from the fair was pink eye.  Poor little Ethan was miserable for a day or so, but seems to be feeling much better now. 

I don't have any new pictures of Ethan (sorry), but I will get some soon and put them up. 

On another note....

Shay will be turning 5 this year (how this happened, I just don't know) and we will be taking her to Disney World on December 5.  She does not know this, of course, but wanted to let anyone know that they are welcome to come (we will not be having a party for her).  Until next time....
