What's Missing Here?

I took the picture below just a few weeks ago in preparation for the picture that follows.

Yep. The first tooth has fallen out. Actually, rather than gently "falling" out, it was yanked out by a tube of toothpaste. Here is my lovely daughter demonstrating how the tooth got yanked out.
She tells us that because she could not open the toothpaste with her fingers, she tried to open it with her teeth.

In the end, she never did get her toothpaste tube opened by herself.

Pictures from September

Here are a few pictures from our very busy September.

At the John Deere Museum in Moline, Illinois:
Near Amana, Iowa - right after eating giant cinnamon rolls
Here are a few pictures of our weekend
trip down to Turkey Run State Park.

The Boy fell asleep on our hike both days.


We went to watch the fanfare
before the Purdue football game.


The last ride around the yard in the Jeep.
I sold it to a friend in Huntington.

Of course, you have to have your last
round of Jeep Olympics by swinging
around on the roll bar.

The Pioneer Festival is always a favorite.
The Boy was really hamming it up for the camera.

We finished the month with a trip
to Dairy Queen. Both kids got free
ice creams from the library reading
program.

New Front End (Part 2)

I have finally finished the entire front end repaint of the old '64 pickup. This past week, I was able to clean up the front bumper and get it painted.


It looks really good with the newly painted grille. This cost me 1 can of spray primer, 2 cans of spray paint, and a few hours of time. Very worthwhile.
