Sad day at the Cernin's

It was a somber, sad day at our house lastnight. Our dear friend of 12 years, had to be tossed.

Yes, I'm talking about Tim's recliner. (Sorry if I scared any of you). But the poor thing finally went kaput on us. Tim dismantled it and took it to the dumpster. *Tears*

As some of you know, Tim has had this chair literally forever! The leg of the chair just finally gave in. It probably didn't help that 2 kids would run and jump onto it.


Good bye Lazy Boy!

My little buddy and Princess

One of the many self portraits we took that day!! Aren't we cute!??!


My baby girl after I trimmed her bangs. Taylor: " They(bangs) were right in my eyes
and I can't see!"


Colin being dramatic! "Hey You!"




Playing cool! :)

Taylor's Checkup for Preschool

I meant to do this awhile back, but somehow I've forgotten. On the 15th, we took her to get her pre-school physical and shots. Her are her stats for her visit:

42 1/4 inches
37 lbs.

She is 90th percentile for her height (duh!) and 50th percentile for her weight. Which is fine! She is going to be tall and skinny...unfortunately like her dad! She got 4 shots and didn't cry until they poked her with the 4th one. We were so proud of her. They also did the hearing and eye sight test...passing both. She looked sooo cute sitting in the chair raising her left/right arm to the beeps. I remember doing those in grade school. After her appointment, we went to Chili's then to Target, where she showed daddy the backpack she wanted.
She is going to a 4 & 5 year old preschool at a church in Lake Ozark. I"m looking forward to going for an open house so she can be familiar with the school and surroundings.

Falling asleep

Yesterday I took the kids down to the pool around 12:30 and we were there until 4:00. Tim ended up coming home mid-day to swim too. We decided to grill out. While eating, Colin got mad for some reason and just sat in his chair and pouted. I looked over at him and this is what we saw. He had fallen asleep with his cup in his hand and his little head just kept falling down, and he'd jerk up then fall back asleep. Soon his head came to a rest on top of his cup. Needless to say, we weren't letting him go to bed at 6:00. We woke him up and asked if he wanted to play. That worked!

Visitors

Lindsay, Andrew, and Annie Cochran came to visit us Sunday thru Tuesday. On Monday we rented a boat and cruised the Lake. We actually ended up at Tim's fuel manager's house and swam in their cove. Taylor had a great time. She was just floatin' around in her lifejacket and was doing very good at it to! It was a great time!

'Baby' Annie playing with the toys! Isn't she cute!

Taylor adored her and enjoyed entertaining her.
