Please excuse the fact that this will have no cohesiveness whatsoever. I'm just trying to keep my commitment to post at least once once a month, even when my computer acquired a virus and was down for the count for the past few weeks.
Kolby started the new school year in August. Here's my all-star teacher on his first day of school:
My family got together a awhile back to celebrate birthdays, and I took some new pictures of Tucker. He is serisouly the cutest thing.
[These were taken about a month ago, FYI.]
Here's a picture of Kolby and Tucker from a different occasion. If I had to name one person who is almost as baby crazed as me, it would be Kolby. Can't blame him though, there is really nothing sweeter than holding a sleeping baby.
In late August one of my college roommates came in town from Memphis to spend the weekend with the three other roomies that live around here. Despite the oppressive temperatures, we all had a great time together!
Our church had a "soft opening" of our new building earlier this summer, but we've been working since then to furnish the place, build a stage, assemble a kitchen, decorate, etc. and we celebrated our grand opening on August 28. It was a great service and an awesome reminder of God's faithfulness.
For Labor Day weekend we had our annual family reunion with my dad's side of the family at the ranch. It was similar to all the family gatherings down there so I'll spare the recap. But here are a couple cute pictures of my cousin's kids, and a full scoop of the weekend can be found at my cousin Debby's blog here.
Kolby making ice cream with the little ones:
I may have mentioned before that our neighbors have chickens. Well now they have 5 chicks as well and they are absolutely adorable. A few weekends ago they asked me to come over and snap some pictures. What started as this:
Evolved to this (albeit at a seven year-olds prompting):
When I woke up that morning if you had told me that my day would include photographing chickens in wingback chairs reading the newspaper, I definitely wouldn't have believed you. :)
Because this post is already so random, I'll leave you with a couple recent quotes, for your reading pleasure:

Kolby: He's the one who looks a little like a hobbit.
Emily: Oh, I know who you're talking about. He's not thin, though.
Kolby: Hobbits aren't thin. I think you're thinking of elves. I would have said he looks like a dwarf, but he doesn't have a beard.
Kolby: What is that kid's name again?
Russell: Holden.
Kolby: Oh, like Holden Caulfield.
Russell: Yeah (insert fake laugh).
*Kolby was referring to the protagonist in The Catcher in the Rye*
**Russell thought he said "holdin' coffee."**
