Hallie went to Boaz to meet some of the Heads today. She's pictured with Aunt Sara, Aunt Jean and Uncle Gerald, and Uncle Larry. We also got to see Uncle Gary. We enjoyed a great visit!

Happy Little Patient
We took Hallie for her 4 month checkup this week.
(This is her pre-shot picture.)
The doctor said that she looked great,
and she behav
ed beautifully the whole time.

On Our Way to See the Rebels Play
The game was not so great, but we enjoyed our trip to Nashville with Aunt Julie and Uncle Jon.
Visitors!
Ramsey and his Nana came to see us a couple of weeks ago, and Hallie really enjoyed their visit.
Jurisdiction in the Heavenly Realm
Apparently, the Rules of Civil Procedure have a higher purpose.
To my many non-lawyer readers: I will be posting more interesting content (read: pictures of Hallie) this weekend. Thank you for your patience. :)

Are you a "hoe handler"?
If so, you'll be glad to know you're protected in Texas.
From the Texas Labor Laws:
§ 52.021. MINIMUM LENGTH OF HOE HANDLES. (a) An employer of agricultural laborers may not require an employee to use a hoe that has a handle shorter than four feet while performing agricultural labor in a commercial farming operation. (b) This section does not apply to an employer engaged in the operation of a greenhouse or nursery.
I love random laws.

An Open Letter to the Firm Administrator
Dear Sir,
Might I suggest installing mirrored walls in the elevator? These are extremely useful and worth the investment. For instance, if I could see myself before I walk into the office, I would know that my daughter--and her drool--have made my left shoulder less than presentable.
Please consider this accomodation. Thank you for your time.

Portrait Session!
Mom and I took Hallie for her first portrait session on Saturday. She did really well, and we got several cute ones.

Let's Be...
I am really excited about a set of books we have added to Hallie's little library!
Last week at the beach, I discovered a precious book in our niece Elizabeth's collection called "Let's Be Thankful." It turns out that the book is only one in a series of "Let's Be..." books by P.K. Hallinan. Jason ordered the set, and they arrived this morning.
These books are excellent. They are written in couplets, with really cute illustrations. Hallinan is a Christian author, and the books teach principles like patience, honesty, sharing, and kindness. I would definitely recommend these quality books for small children. And they would make great baby gifts--they all include a "to" and "from" page at the beginning.

Candid Camera?
Is there a hidden camera in my office?
It's my first week of work, and we had a little reception (the subtle official name is "Firm Drinks") to welcome us to the firm. Upon return to my office, I filled out a time sheet and prepared to head home. Except I can't. Because my purse was placed in the bottom left drawer of my desk, and my desk has decided to lock itself. Literally the only drawer that I can open is the top middle one, which contains helpful things like sticky notes and highlighters. It does not, however, contain my car keys.
In my exasperated insistence on remedying the situation, I yanked on every drawer. (You might even have heard a choice word or two if you were standing by my office.) As I was pulling with all my might, one of the drawer handles fell off into my hand. Then it broke. Please understand that I did not break the handle. It came off the desk in one piece and then, as I sat holding it, it spontaneously fell apart.
And so, here I sit, incredulously waiting for Hallie and Jason to come pick me up. Don't ask how I'm going to get into my desk in the morning because I haven't the slightest idea.
And anyone who needs me this evening should call my husband's phone. Mine will be locked in the bowels of my desk, ringing to no one in particular.

It's Rough Being a Baby
After a great vacation (and a fabulous summer, for that matter), Hallie and I started our new routines this week. I started work on Tuesday, and Hallie's first day of day care was today. Leaving her was every bit as hard as I thought it would be, and her first day of "school" didn't go so great. It turns out that her stomach wasn't feeling well, and the day care called me at work to let me know. Let me tell you--there's nothing quite like seeing the daycare on your work phone caller ID on your daughter's first day. I'm pretty sure that my stomach came up into my throat.
Anyway, we're hoping for a better report tomorrow. To quote one of the workers, "She only sleeps if she's attached to another person." All I can say is, tell me about it. My little angel likes a little--ok, a lot of--attention. And I'm pretty sure she's been anti-napping from the very beginning. :)
Please say a prayer that we'll be wise in helping her adjust very soon!

Drivers Beware!
Gray turned 16 on Monday (and passed his driving test on Tuesday morning)! He received lots of guitar accessories -- here he is showing off his loot.
Hallie wore a red bow while she helped Daddy cheer on the Rebels on Saturday.
