The semester is over!!!

We are a very happy family because the fall semester is over! We celebrated by purchasing a new (to us) SLR digital camera. Merry Christmas to the Tackett's! So, our pictures won't be super blurry anymore, and there will probably be a lot more pictures to be seen. On that note, here is a link to Picasa...sorry to send you on to another place for pics, but I suppose it is better than trying to send everyone an email. Here is a teaser picture to entice you to Picasa...

Little Miss Thang is doing great! Her personality is really shining through and we are trying to cherish every moment because it is going way too fast. Everyone who meets her comments that she is such a happy baby. We are lucky. She loves to eat (she is my daughter) and be outside (ditto). Her greatest joys come from seeing her daddy walk in the door, going up and down the stairs, looking at herself in the mirror, going for a walk outside and being around people.

She will be 7 months old in 3 days. Her schedule has really been ironed out and she pretty much wakes up, eats and naps on a predictable basis. She is rolling over all the time, loving her play time on the floor with her toys, scooting around and very near to crawling! Baby proofing time is here.

We will be heading to the Children's Museum for the first time today. It will be fun to explore with Lola, Benji, Chris, Emily and Maddie.
