Family Baby Shower in Arkansas

As Bobbie's belly continues to grow, it was finally time for Bobbie's first Baby Shower. Bobbie's sister Tracy, Sister-in-law Erika and her mom Debbie, decided to throw her the shower before Bobbie's school started. It was held on July 27th at her mom's house in Beebe, Arkansas. The girls had a lot of fun and Baby Banks got some great stuff. We thank you for all the nice gifts and we know he will love them.

Potter Mania

The Banks fam made it out to Barnes & Noble at midnight on July 21, 2007 to get the final book in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Baby Banks was very good for mommy but we were all ready to hit the sack when we got home.

Whew Finally I Can Rest

We are finally in our new bedroom. The walls and paint have been touched up, floors steam-cleaned, and furniture moved in. What a job. Of course mommy did a lot of supervising of the moving while daddy and Roger man-handled the mattresses and hung mirrors. As you can see mommy and Smokie are reaping the benefits... Notice Bobbie's ever-expanding belly! Baby is now the size of a large banana at 22 weeks.

Learning to Crochet

The old adage, "when a man comes home and sees his wife knitting little booties, he knows he's in trouble," rings true. Bobbie, who is already a knitter, is now learning crochet from Grandma Linda. There are a few cute things she is wanting to make, hats, booties, and the like. The training is not going so well but she will get it. She gets frustrated easier these days! Daddy has had to remind here that she got frustrated in learning to knit but she doesn't remember that.
