Fair game


Amos recently played the Kentucky State Fair, so I thought it was high time that I expose June Apple to all things great about the state fair, ie funnel cakes and cows. And apparently, fake flower arrangement competitions. Our good friend Emily went along for the good times, and a good time it was! Here are some highlights from the day:

Another wonderful event occurred this past weekend, one of my dearest bestie, Britten's wedding! Not only was I in the honored position of serving as a bridesmaid, but June Apple made her debut as a flower girl. Of course, all of our practice at cleaning up after ourselves at home, came in handy when she dutifully picked up all the flower petals along the way, as soon as the other flower girl, Jolene let them fall. Poor Jolene, 4 years old, was a bit distressed at this kink in the plan, so I needed to come out and help Miss June along, so Jolene could go ahead with her important job. June Apple is VERY energetic these days, and were it not for Amos, my mom, my mother-in-law, and my dad, all being at the wedding to help wrangle her, I probably would have gone in to labor from running around after her. Instead, I got to enjoy being pampered and made up, and getting my hair did with other gorgeous ladies, as well as dance the night away surrounded by some of my most favorite people. I was so, so, so honored and blessed to be a part of Britt's special and beautiful day. I am so excited for her and her new life with her wonderful husband, David. Yay for love!


So, although there was a torrential downpour outside when it was time to take my pic for week 37. But boy, was I joyous! Time keeps on tickin' tickin' tickin' into the future.....

Dear Baby Bear,

Mama was a dancing queen this past weekend. I hope you enjoyed the extra boogie party! I'm guessing that you did, since you boogie so much on your own in Mama's tummy all day, every day! You have been in the same position (head down, butt up, with your feet poking my right side) for several weeks. Hopefully you'll stay put in this position, because that is exactly where you need to be for a smooth delivery! You love to kick my side and your Papa and I can see your feet and little butt pushing, pushing, saying, "Let me outta here!" Soon enough, Baby, soon enough.

Your Papa, big sister and I love you very much.

Love,
Mama
