End of Summer Festivities

Over Labor Day Weekend we took Letty to one of our favorite things - the Flea Market! Here she is surveying the wares at Burley Park. There were many fleas to be had, as well as some new books, tools for Dad and yummy cookies made by the Amish.

To answer the age-old question "Can a baby fall asleep in a backpack carrier?" the answer is a resounding YES!!! However it takes quite a bit of practice and many yoga classes to perfect the pose:A picture from a trip to the park:
I finally got around to painting the chairs we have on our front porch. Letty seemed to like them!
This is my new favorite picture of her :)

This weekend my friend Becky and I went to the Three Rivers PowWow. It was SO COOL!! I wish I had gone sooner! Here is Letty posing during the Grand Entry where all the dancers in full regailia dance to traditional tribal music. She started singing along later on - it's her kind of music!! Ahhhheee aaahhh eeeahhh ya yaya. She's got that DOWN!

This was one of my favorite dancers. Check out the authentic Native American shades! :)
On a more serious note, Violet goes in Monday morning for her hip procedure. We appreciate everyones good thoughts and prayers - we're really hoping it all goes smoothly and she transitions to her cast well. I'll be posting later on this week with pictures of what it looks like and updates of how we're all doing. :) THANKS!

Jess, I have a cousin in her fifties who wore this cast for the same reason as a baby. She has been very athletic...played tennis for years....still walks a lot and works out.
