Like A Herd Of Wild Turtles

"We're off, like a herd of wild turtles!" was my family's announcement of departure once we were all loaded in the car and headed down the driveway. I was a teenager before I realized what it actually meant ("we're FINALLY, with less than creditable dispatch, leaving!"), and it wasn't until I had kids of my own that I truly understood it! Since this blog is about the family and the phrase generally typifies the pace around here, it seemed a fitting title. :-)

Dave's Birthday!

Dave was at Squadron Officer School in Alabama during his birthday, so we had a party the weekend after he returned. Emmett created a three-dimensional paper airplane for Daddy.

Vera Gail had a special gift for Daddy too!
