Now that August is over, I can get to blogging about it. Aside from Lacey's traumatic hospital visits, we got to do a few fun things.
We had the wonderful opportunity to attend Phil's nephew's baptism. It is always so wonderful and special to witness a young person make their commitment to Christ. I'm so glad we got to be there for it. There was, of course, much picture taking because we had most of the Bobo clan together.
Here's Grandpa and Grandmother Bobo with 11 of their 13 grandchildren. It's so much fun to have all those cousins together.
A picture to look at in the future and be confused about which kid is whose. For future reference--Emily has Lacey, Phil has Mark, Will has Nathan Edwards, and Jessica has Ivan. And I'm pretty sure that's Parker's head down in the corner.
Lacey's looking to shoot some nerf darts at anyone who dares to mess with her.
She got REALLY tired. It was way past her nap time. I think here she's going through Samantha's purse.
And of course Daddy racked out on the floor. He doesn't look terribly comfortable, though.
That evening, Lacey and I headed up to my cousin's house for a nice little Welker family get together. My grandma, uncle, aunt, and some cousins enjoyed eachother's company. Lacey enjoyed playing with the dog. She was so thrilled when he chased the ball, even when she would just drop it at her feet. He got bored with her pretty quick, though.
Lacey was thrilled with the dog, and I was thrilled that she was thrilled.
Here's a cute little video of her playing with him. And him getting bored with her.
And Lacey stealing Great-grandma Welker's cane.

Among other interesting things:
Daddy brought home this huge computer. Well, it's not really interesting, especially since now we have an extra computer floating around (errrg), but he wanted to take a picture of Lacey with the huge computer, so here it is.
As I was trying to get a decent picture of Lacey for Grandmother Bobo (it's hard--she won't stay still for two seconds) I stumbled across this little gem. It captures her personality perfectly.
Don't be fooled by the calm little baby in this picture. She really is a crazy little monster. But oh so cute. She does love to read her books, though. She'll climb up into the rocking chair in her bedroom and read books. It's the cutest thing.
Lastly, I finished another sewing project. I made this dress for Lacey. This one was actually pretty easy and fun to make. It's big on her, but that just means it will last longer.
