Labor Day Weekend

Joe's parents came to Knoxville for Labor Day weekend. We had lots of fun visiting with Grandma and Grandpa and also got alot done around our house. Daddy and Grandpa painted Anna's new big girl room on Saturday while Anna, Grandma, and I went to the zoo. Then yesterday, they put Anna's new big girl bed together. We still have alot of work to do in her new room, but we are making progress. I think Anna is going to like her new bed. We put her in it after Daddy put up the rail. We also got bear to put in there with her. She laid right down and said "My bed!" She didn't want to get out when we were ready to leave. Then a few minutes later she came in my bathroom with bear. We have a rule at our house that she can't carry bear around, he has to stay in her bed. So I told her to go put bear back in her bed. This was a test because I wanted to see which bed she would put him in. Can you guess which bed bear ended up in?

HER BIG GIRL BED!!!! That made us really happy!

We haven't put her in there yet, but will sometime this month. I think she is going to do fine in her big girl bed! Here are pictures from our weekend. I will post a picture of her room when it is all complete.

I think Anna's new favorite animals at the zoo are the chimps. We couldn't get her to leave them.

Yes, this is what we wore to church on Sunday. Sunday was our high attendance day for Bibe Fellowship. The theme this year is "Get in the Game". Everyone was supposed to wear their favorite team shirt. What a great day we had at CHBC! We love our church and the opportunity to serve there.

Awe, I can't believe it is almost big girl bed time for Anna. She will love it! We never had a single problem getting Faith to sleep in hers. LOVE your Kentucky T-shirts!
