P.S.

Looked at my last entry and realized that two of my cuties were missing. I went looking and found a picture of each of them on their first day of school this year!




Jill's caption for this picture: "Lanie, first day of middle school today... and holding a picture of herself (and striking the same pose) on her first day of daycare/preschool back in 2002."

Here is Miss Maddy sitting at her desk in Missy Inman's first grade classroom. As Julie says, "She looks ready for anything!" As I have mentioned, Maddy is at "my school" and I know Missy will take good care of her. Maddy has become such a good reader and it makes me so happy when I see her bring home a library book that I purchased and processed!

Sharing photos shared with me!

My kids have been sending me some wonderfully cute pictures and I just had to share!
(I have no control over the order in which these pictures are posted!)



Hattie has been famous for her WILD hair but here she is with an actual "do"! Jenny is quick to mention that the sock choice was Eric's!

Lucy is excited about going to a Power cat baseball game in the photo above! Jenny said she went around the house singing, "I am going to a baseball game. It is for one of my cousins."

Eric's surgical group had tickets to the Razorback football game on Saturday, September 10. As part of the remembrance ceremonies for the tenth anniversary of 9/11, fans were assigned, by section, a clothing color - red, white, or blue. The Pauls were to sit in a red section - and they had no red. Eric's birthday is the 9th so his family gave him a very nice red Razorback shirt. Jenny, who bleeds purple and gold, couldn't quite take that step but she was lucky enough to find a red shirt that read "I (heart shape) AR". I was amazed when she pulled a Razorback cheerleader uniform for Lucy out of her shopping bag. She has been trying to be flexible enough to let the girls appreciate both the Tigers and the Razorbacks. As she said, the true test will be to see what the the Paul girls wear the day after Thanksgiving!

DanMan had to go to a birthday party at the Country Club. Hannah, with her new driver's license, was his chauffeur.

Kate, as I have written before, loves her baseball league. Cliff Lee, who pitched in the World Series last year, is a generous donor for the Miracle League and he was happy to pose with a fan. DanMan was so terrifically jealous. Jill and Kate came home with no idea who this guy was and DanMan, who was in town and went to Lanie's soccer game, would have given his eye teeth for an autograph!
