I know, I know.

It's been too long.

First, pictures.

Next, stories.

Potty training, by the way, is going amazingly, but of course it didn't start off that way.  This was our first trip to the store in underwear.  She picked her own clothes, including the hat (on an 80-degree September day, why not?).  The trip, for the record, was a complete disaster.  She did fine until we got to the cashier and when I wouldn't let her get any candy from the display (I hate those candy displays right there at the register.  Grrr...) , she had a meltdown and once she was calmed down I noticed her pants were soaked.  Came prepared, thankfully.

Cousins!

Another outfit picked out all by herself.  Shoes on the wrong feet, and everything.

At Blake's baptism in Lake Charles!  This is the church where Daniel was baptized, we were married, and Hollie was baptized too.  I love it!

Best picture ever!  Poor Blake.  Poor Hollie, too.  She had been sick the night before, but she powered through the baptism and was just fine.  The heat and humidity were wearing on all of us, I think.

 We love Pepere!

This is what I get when I ask Hollie to smile.

She smiles!  Has been for a few weeks, but now we have proof!!
