a trip to the park

On one of Philip's few days off, we headed to a local park on a beautiful early fall day. It's amazing to see how Isabelle has grown over the Summer. It seems like when we left Huntsville, she was still a baby. Now she is a full fledged toddler. They sure do grow up fast!

What a good father

Philip is able to handle two kids at once

Bob and Sally Visit

Bob and Sally spent one night with us on their way to a bus trip to Chicago. We ate at one of the Casino's in Tunica and Grandma and Grandpa where able to spend some quality time with their grandchildren.

Cute Kid Pics

Here is an update on the every growing Smith kids. It is so much fun to watch more of Parker's personality come out and Isabelle loves playing mommy.

As you can tell, Parker is a very serious baby. He studies everything and at times it seems he is contemplating the world's problems. Isabelle is our smiler, it is very contagious.

We would like to thank Aunt Elizabeth for the bumpo. It has come in very handy.

Not supposed to be a video, just pushed the wrong button on the camera. Anyway, trying to get to get a good picture of Parker smiling.

The Great Flood

About a week ago on a Sunday afternoon, it rained really hard for about an hour. When the storms cleared up, Philip went out to survey the damage. He discovered that the road in front of the funeral home (which is a mian road in town) drains poorly. As you can see in the pictures, the water is really high. Philip waded through some of it, and it came up to his knees at one point! Anyway, nothing like small town excitement.
