Cara is a big girl

November 30, 2009

So the crib is gone. Cara is out of the crib and into a big girl bed.

I have cried… No more baby bed. Even when we left for Colorado for the ‘06 ‘07 school year we left the crib standing.

I just cannot believe that babies are all behind us now.

Sigh…

Cara received this nightgown from a dear friend when her daughter outgrew it, and she’s as pretty as a picture so I am sharing the photo with you.

IMG_3865What a beautiful view of Lake Camelot.  Swimming at the Curtis’ pool that overlooks the lake.

It was a fun afternoon!

Cara’s New Dress

June 9, 2009

Cara is looking oh so IMG_3811pretty in this new dress that was a hair too small for Mommy!

The weather’s been nice and the door’s been left opIMG_3868en – and we have acquired some new pets.     IMG_3866

The answer I received this evening from http://www.allexperts.com:

“These are Black Soldierflies.  They are attracted to manure (especially septic tanks) and rotting organic material.  They resemble wasps, but they are flies and are completely harmless.  The larvae resemble large, gray armored maggots.

For more information, search on “Black Soldierfly” and see what you get.

Thanks for your question!  This is a best guess for the information you’ve provided.

From the days before we were even engaged – these two photos simulated what our children might look like if we chose to reproduce.  I must say I think we did a better job than the prediction.

Cara's first ride in the Burley

Cara's first ride in the Burley

You know life is tough when you get to ride in such style around the neighborhood!

Uncle Pete & Aunt Lindsey’s birthday money bought the hitch so Mommy could hook the Burley to her bike.

Now mommy can exercise and Cara rides in style!
