The Barneys: New Clothes and Old Friends

New Clothes and Old Friends

Our friends April and Grace let us borrow some clothes for Summer. Grace is two months younger than Summer, but she is almost just as big. Grace has boxes and boxes of clothes, so we're going to borrow a few each week and then return them the next. Here's Summer wearing two of Grace's outfits.

This is actually one of the only times Summer has worn a head band. It's cute, but I don't think she liked it.

On another note, I woke up yesterday morning and decided I wanted to get in touch with some old friends from my college days. (Ha, that makes me sound so old.) So I got onto the BYU-I alumni webpage and searched for classmates. I found everyone that I was looking for, sent out some emails, and have had a great time catching up with everyone. I got just addresses of a few people who didn't have their email available, and I'm excited for the adventure of getting back in touch with them too. It's been great seeing pictures and hearing how everyone is doing. Good times!

Summer, seeing my arm peeling from a sunburn: "Why is it doing that?" Me: "Well, when you sunburn, you just tan. But when I get sunburned, it kills my skin, and then peels off." Summer, worried: "Are you getting very, very old now?" (now in tears) "I don't want you to die!"

Looking in the dishwasher: "I thought there was a black leaf in there, but it's just a craisin!"

"I wish my head was in my mouth so I could see what my tongue was doing."

Rhett, after putting the girls to bed, then having to go down to their room again to tell them to stop talking: "I don't want to hear one more word out of here." Claire, innocently, and just asking to clarify, "How many words, dad?"

Claire told me she had "something" in her underwear. I asked her if she had an accident. She said, "No. I had a tooter and poop came out. Shooted right in there."

Me: "Stick your finger in your ear and see if you can get some of that ear wax out." Claire: "Nooooo. Because we have to lick it and that's how we wash it."
