Still no camera to take any pictures and I had some great opportunities this week. We took Abby & Jacob to the fair. They got to see a kangaroo, a monkey, sheep, ponies, and all sorts of other animals. Of course, Abby was a little scared of the animals and the clowns! The one thing Abby was not afraid of was the rides. We rode one of those spinning rides (that make me sick), the carousel with Jacob and Dad, and she rode a car ride all by herself. She rode the car ride about three times... she thought she was something blowing the horn and steering. She ran into a friend from school and they took a spin together.

Blake did not go to the fair with us. He went to a football game with his friend Chris. Yesterday, the five of us went to the Friendship Festival. We took the kids in a wagon and walked around for a little while. It was hot and we really did not like many of the vendors. Blake ended up with a new school t-shirt. We ended up leaving and going to Sonic for some cool drinks!

Jacob has been doing somersault everywhere. When I picked him up from school the other day he did somersault all the way from his room to Abby's room. Before each flip he would say "Look at me Mommy!" It was so cute. He is such a big boy!

Abby FINALLY has her allergist appointment on 4 Oct. I am anxious to hear what the doctor will say. She is constantly scratching and it breaks my heart that I don't know how to make her better. Right now she has a cold, too so that doesn't make it any easier on any of us.

Dylan is doing well. He has all A's in school and we are all very proud of him. I think he is adjusting well to living in SC. Abby still asks about him all the time and always includes him whenever we are talking about family members. She can't wait until Christmas when Dylan, Grandma and Santa come!
