Julia and Mommy went together to the annual Barn Dance and Chili Dinner. Julia was so excited to go! She picked out her boots to wear and wore her hat around all afternoon. When we first got there, it was a new place with lots of people so she was shy again. Once she found her friends and a space to run she was her friendly little self. After running around the dance floor and eating, we went out to check out the farm. She loved sitting on the tractors, and was curious about the pigs, roosters, and hens. The rooster talked to her and Julia found it quite startling, but got used to it. By far her favorite thing to do was run around the dance floor with her friends. When it was time to go home she gave kisses to all the babies, hugs to the bigger kids, and blew kisses to the other mamas. Sweet times!

Chili Grins abound!

(15 months) Our church has an annual chili cook-off and barn dance at the barn of one of our church members. This year Emily and Mommy went to the event with Heather and Johnny. Emily enjoyed all of her yummy chili bites which it appears that she wore for the whole evening. She also got to accompany Mommy for half of the dancing until Mommy’s arm just gave out. Chili, barns, and dancing are fun!
