Tribute for a Survivor - Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so I made this video to honor Grandma Linda:

Talley Wears Pink

We love you, Grandma Linda, and we're so proud of you for being tough and getting through radiation!  Your courage and faith through tribulation are an inspiration to us.  

Love,
Talley & Maverick

Fire Truck Party

In September, we attended a birthday party that was done right.  There were all the standard things that make a birthday party fun (ie toys, food, cake, etc) as well as a monstrous bounce house and a vintage fire truck.  The fire truck driver gave us rides to and from the park.  It was super fun!  These friends know how to have a party!  Of course, having Grandpa Talley along made it extra special too.  Thanks for partying with us, Grandpa T!

Baby Bubba

We like to think of Bubba as our baby.  He let's us pet him, hold him, and cuddle him at whim, and we love it! We think he likes it too.  Doesn't it look like he's smiling?

Pookie, we love you too, although you are understandably terrified of us.

I Feel Pretty

Just a normal day in mid September, but wearing a nice dress and having my hair up makes me feel especially pretty.  Go ahead and snap away with those photos, Mommy.

Nature Kids - Galena Hike

We love being in nature.  We've hiked the Numbers Trail in Galena Forest a couple times now.  It's so fun walking through the wilderness and finding good sticks and new leaves.

Mav Ringing the Bell at Swim School

On September 14th, I graduated from Baby I to Baby II level in swim school!  I got to ring the bell just like Talley has done a few times now and I got a cool keepsake ribbon.  I am able to do a 10 second submersion swim, climb out of the water with a little assistance, and monkey walk along the side of the pool a bit.

It was a really cool thing to ring the bell; however, I am missing my old teacher and class.  I'm sticking with it, though, and hopefully, Baby II will eventually be just as fun as Baby I.
