Day 216 - Thursday, August 4, 2011 – Tonight began full pads practice for the boys. Coach Snable puts the boys through some drills with Liam leading the JV Gold pack. A few days ago, Liam told me "I can not WAIT to put pads on, Mom! I am going to SQUASH Austin Redlin like a PANCAKE!! He keeps calling me pip squeak and squirt. He's going DOWN!" :)

Day 215 - Wednesday, August 3, 2011 – I am on a locally grown, organic food kick since watching the documentary Food, Inc. a few days ago. I have a new appreciation for food that I’ve never had before. Isn’t this stuff gorgeous?!

Day 212 - Saturday, July 31, 2011 – The next generation pose at the Shellnut reunion. (l to r - Jacob, Jordyn, Aaron, Bailey, Julianna, Cordelia, Dianna). This year's reunion was more sad than anything else. There are no more Shellnut siblings left in Michigan and the four who live out of state couldn't find it in them to make the trip north. I don't blame them. Miss you, Dad.

Day 211 - Saturday, July 30, 2011

Day 210 - Friday, July 29, 2011

Day 210 - Friday, July 29, 2011 – Liam is blaming Owen for the fact that he has been locked out of his iPod Touch for over 21 MILLION minutes...um that's like 40 years according to my math!! I'm blaming Liam who insists on assigning a password to his device for no reason other than to keep his younger brother from playing with it. Unless he has secrets of national defense stored on this thing that I don't know about, he has no business putting a password on it in the first place. It's off to the Apple store for us.
