Wow how time flies by. Where did the summer go?? I think it is funny how people refer to summer as when kids are not in school but I tend to refer to it as hot weather which is like 7 months here in La. Anyhow, I digress, I can't believe school is already in session. Sean asked me the other day, "Mom, when will I go to school?", to which I replied, "We are going to start doing school work soon at home", then he said, "but school is far, far away; you have to ride a school bus to get to it!". Here are some pictures of the balloons, skydivers, and fireworks from the balloon festival. It was so much fun and best of all it was free! I highly recommend it to everyone!! Plus, it is a great opportunity to get some really neat pictures!

As most of you know, Azure disappeared much to our dismay. Everyone was heartbroken. Yesterday, we went and got two of her cousins. They don't have names yet as we just got them. They are very sweet!!! 
She is a little bit more shy, but is warming up nicely!
She is very friendly and outgoing!
