Poor Nora has had a rough weekend. She is cutting 1st molars on the top. These will make 12 teeth so far. We've never noticed her having such pain as she has had cutting these two.

This weekend twice at the dinner table she just leaned over and laid her head down on the table and tears flowed down both cheeks. It was so pitiful!! She wasn't boo-hooing just tears. It broke both our hearts to see her like this.

We have been giving her teething tablets which have helped greatly! She gets excited when she sees the bottle. She has already figured out and knows what they will give her relief! Please say a little prayer for her until she cuts these teeth. Thanks :-)

We are feeling a little blue today, or at least I (Bonnie) am. The 4th of July is tomorrow and we don't have any plans. There was no mention of a parade in the local newspaper last week. I don’t think they do much here in Orange except a small fireworks show at dusk. I am really starting to feel homesick for KY.

There is no place I rather be on the 4th of July than at home in Campbellsville. From sun up to sun down there is something to do. Every year following the parade downtown, we walk Main Street and it usually becomes like a homecoming seeing people we haven’t seen in a long time. We haven’t missed many 4th of July’s over the years.

The first time we didn’t make it home was the year we built our home in Sumter, SC. David & I spent the whole day planning our landscaping. Last year Nora was only 11 days old and we were hosting a house full of company at our home in Augusta, GA. My family - Daddy, Barry and Brian came down from KY to meet Nora for the first time. I wasn’t feeling up to traveling yet.

I think we will start planning for next year. We will have to make a trip to Campbellsville for the 4th of July next year. Nora will have just turned 2 and I'm sure she will enjoy it more then.

Still haven't been to the doctor for Nora's 1 year old check up. We are waiting on our new insurance cards to come! We have heard lots of good stuff on two peditricians here in Orange. We will be sure to post information as soon as we go. I have added the charts for her weight and height to the photo album. I will update it soon.
