Girlz vs. Boyz

This weekend, the Ferguson Four separated by gender.  As you see below, the boys went to a fabulous Father/Son camp with our church.  They were at Allaso Ranch close to Hawkins, Texas.  Beautiful country with lots of really fun activities for the boys!

Mommy introduced Katherine to a mini-Ferguson shopping weekend.  She's not quite ready for the big-time yet, but she's on her way.  Meme and Grandmother - Katherine is being groomed.  She's got a long way to go, but we're making progress!

I won't bore you with the shopping details, but Katherine has finally learned not to curl her toes when Mommy puts shoes on her feet.  Apparently, she can learn by repetition.  Hallelujah!!

Here are a few pictures from the Girlz weekend.

Katherine is MUCH more of an explorer than David ever was.  We never even had to child-proof our house.  He really didn't get into anything.  Katherine is the exact opposite.  This girl is everywhere!

She found a drawer she liked this weekend.

She also loves to rip things.  If she can get something in her hands, she tries to tear it apart.  She was especially hungry once, so I let her play with a paper towel.  For about 3 seconds.
The rest of it was in tiny pieces all over the floor.
Of course, she's cruising all over the place these days.  She can pull up on just about anything - even things we don't think she should!  She found the dining room this weekend.  We don't spend a lot of time in there, so it was a new adventure.
I just thought this was a pretty picture of a pretty baby girl!
I do have other pictures that I haven't posted yet, but for some reason, blogger is not doing very well with pictures lately.  Is anyone else having this problem?  They load in some kind of funky order and getting them re-ordered is a little painful.  I'm not sure what the deal is.  Anyway, I'll just make it another post later.

I've been waiting to hear about the girls weekend! A girl has gotta have shoes that ROCK! So I'm glad that was on the agenda. She looks so happy on her new dining room adventure and that is a sweet close up.

We were wondering if the Girlz weekend included watching the Red Raiders--GO TECH. Glad to hear Katherine is in training for the shopping traditions--that last picture is the cutest!

Actually, the bigger of the two girls did watch the Tech game. It was a little late for the smaller one. However, the bigger one *really* thought she was going to wake the smaller one up what with all the screaming and jumping around!

Luckily, she slept through the whole thing. Mommy couldn't sleep for hours.

GO RED RAIDERS!!!!!

Lily loves to do that with paper towels too! Katherine looks busy busy. I'm sure you'll get to know that child-proofing aisle at Babys R Us very soon! :-)
