The Pauls have moved into their new home. Getting settled is going slowly because they do not have enough furniture to fill the place. At least, the kitchen is fully operational - or is if their new refrigerator has been delivered! We had high hopes that the previous family would find a home with a refrigerator but that didn't not happen; that means that Jenny and Eric have been making do with a dorm fridge. It is obvious below that the frustrations of settling in have not bothered Lucy or Hattie.
I absolutely love this picture of Lanie! Tom and I stayed with the Fussell girls while their parents went to Heber Springs for a weekend with friends. (We had DanMan too 'cause his parents went to Eureka Springs.) After Lanie's shower on Friday night, she popped around the corner and asked, "Do I remind you of anyone?" Well, she certainly did! The resemblance to her mother is always very noticeable but in this "get-up" she looked more like her than ever! Jill in her turbi-twist, warm-up pants, and T-shirt is such a typical sight and here was Lanie in the same gear - with the same cute face and scrawny body!!! Just precious!!!
Here is Lanie clowning again! Can't believe she even has her tongue hanging out like a hound dog!
Maddy had two birthday parties. One with (it seemed like) hundreds of little kids running around and playing in the Bravo Dance Center activity room and one at Applebee's with her family that lives in El Dorado. Here Papa is letting her suck the frosting off of a candle, a pretty traditional party activity!
My book club takes a field trip every year. This year we went to Texarkana. Only five of the eleven were able to go; here we are at the Akansas/Texas border - each with one foot in Arkansas and one in Texas!

I am getting excited about my daddy coming to town. He has been on the mainland since July 22. He is visiting a grandson in Eugene, Oregon now. Then he will go to his brother and sister-in-law's home in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. The three of them will drive to Branson, Missouri, where Daddy will attend a WWII reunion. Then they will drive to Little Rock, arriving on August 8. I am hoping that Bill and Marge will be able to come on down to El Dorado but, if not, at least I'll get to see them in LR. Bill is my dad's youngest brother and I have always thought Unca Bill was pretty special! (Marge too!)
