In August Preston, Talia and I were thrilled to be visited by the Jackson family.
Neera has known me since I was a very little girl and she still likes me. ;) Just kidding!
Neera has been a friend of my whole family for years. I think we figured that I was around 3 when she first met the family because she was in the orchestra pit for a musical Serena and
Kerali were in. Correct me if I got any of the details wrong because for crying out loud I was only 3. Well
Neera has taught me a lot over the years. For example...how to wash paper plates, the importance of elevating ones
pinkie when drinking, and lots of silly songs. Come to think of it I can't remember those songs any more...something about a tree falling "where you chop down the old oak tree, TIMBER and you something something" OK
Neera your going to have to help me out on that one. Any way my point is that I have always cherished the friendship that I have had with
Neera even though I was just a rag-a-muffin kid. Thanks
Neera! It was so much fun to see you and Steve and your kids! Come again any time!!!
Funny how
Neera managed to get a picture of us but we totally forgot to get a picture of them. Maybe I will venture into my scrapbook and scan an old picture of us playing. I really thought that
Neera came over to play with me even though she was
Serena's age!
Ahh memories!

I noticed that you put on milestones that Talia is startingto do the army crawl. I am impressed. My kids take forever to move, infact Collin never crawled, just walked at 12 months. You are looking more and more beautiful every day and so is Talia, Preston too for that matter, just kidding. I just found out that Jeannie is having a girl, due Dec. 2, and her name is going to be Violet. FYI
Heather,
I have to admit I was a little concerned when Talia started moving so early. I thought I had a few more months to go before she should move. But boy was I wrong...now Talia has decided to start pulling up to standing! Crazy girl! It this Jeannies 2nd? So what do you think about Violet for a name???
That is so fun that you got to visit Neera. More than once we've tried to figure out how to get to Texas for a visit, but. . . It's fun to see how big her kids are getting.

yes it is Jeannies 2nd, I hate the name Violet. Her other daughter is Sophia and I hate that name too. She doesn't like Taryn and so we are even. Talia will be walking early. My sister walked at 7 mths and my mom hated it because she left the snuggly baby stage. I walked at 8, but all my boys were way later. Collin, 12 mths, Logan 15 mths, and Trenton 14 mths. Such a fun time.

You guys make such a cute little family. That is a great family photo.
Let me see if I can help you out. It is something like:
Old MacDonald had a farm, eieio
And on that farm he had a home...
Home, Home on the Range
Where they chop down the old oak tree (timber)
And they haul it away to the mill
boing boing boing
Old MacDonald had a farm, eieio.
You'll have to ask Neera if I'm forgetting part. That is so fun to see them!
Hey Shanda!
That is so awesome to meet up with old friends. I love the memories we make within our families, but having family friends makes it so much better! I love the fabric on your sling! It is so pretty!
