Something Besides Water

I thought you might enjoy a post that had to do with something other than the condition of my home. So, here are a couple of pictures from Nate and Sam's hunting trip over Labor Day. They were gone for 6 days and did LOTS of hiking and horseback riding. They had a couple of exciting incidents, but nothing like the bear chase from 2 years ago. Sam came home with major facial scabs from a run-in with a tree branch...serious misjudgement on his part. The school pictures will tell the whole story. He looks great now though...luckily they were just minor scrapes. And Nate's horse sunk in a bog...with him on it. But again, everyone...including Rey, came out of that one ok. Here is Emma on her first day of preschool about two weeks ago. We are doing a small "playgroup preschool" with four other kids. She has been so excited about it and asks when preschool day is. We have to "do the days" when preschool will be...Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Notice the doll. She is a constant companion for Emma lately. She is such the little mom, and takes the poor thing everywhere. She is such a nurturer, and was giddy with excitement when I showed her the newborn diapers for the new baby. She was even more excited that it fit her doll.
