McKalie was 6 Months old in August!! We had her pictures taken and had some taken as a family. I had surprised David for Father's Day with some pictures of just me and her, so he had to get some with just the two of them. She's as precious as can be!! At her 6 month checkup, she weighed 18 lbs 5 oz and was 27 inches long. She's a big girl!!! And she doesn't miss a meal! Her favorite toys these days are her jumper and her laptop computer. She has her two bottom teeth and the two upper ones look like they will be coming in soon. It's about time to start child-proofing the house....we are going to have a crawler any time soon. We love her to death and are having the best time with her. We don't ever want a babysitter because we don't want to miss out on anything. She's growing up so fast....it's hard to believe that she's already half a year old.

Beach - July 2008 We take a family trip to Gulf Shores, Alabama every year. This year was a little different....many of you know that my mom passed away in April of this year with a 2 year battle with cancer. The trip was definitely not the same, but we had a good time. McKalie and Lakin both loved the pool. We didn't make it down in the sand but a few times. It was just too hot for McKalie and Lakin wasn't too excited about the ocean. The Glasgow's joined us for the trip, as they do every year. The boys played golf every day and the girls took in the sun!!!

I've been recruited to blogging!

Ok, so my friend Alison has been bugging me to start a blog. I'm new at this, so it's going to take me some time to learn everything. Thanks Alison for setting it up for me! You have to check our her blog...she has all kinds of neat things on hers. I hope I can keep you all up to date as to what is going on in the Ball household. I may go back in time and show you some things from the summer, like our trip to the beach, etc. Hope you all enjoy!!
