First Day!

Our big-girl second grader started school on Wednesday.

She picked out her clothes on a recent shopping trip and seems to have embraced the concept of accessorizing:

Love this girl!  I am really going to miss her around here.

A Girl and Her Prince

Note to self... start shopping for boy appropriate dress-up ASAP!

Summer Sleep...

With cousins:

On the couch in the middle of a birthday party (this kid NEVER does this - thank you, Oceans of Fun!):

And the award for the most creative nap spot ever:

Look at this big boy!

This babyhood is going by WAY too fast!

Summer S'Mores!

Does it get any better than this?

I think not!

We had a wonderful (although as always, too short!) visit with our dear friends this weekend as they passed through on their way to living in Canada for the next year.  

I've been working for the past several weeks on dolls for the girls.  Each one has two dresses that coordinate with their hair and shoes.  I affectionately dubbed them "the girls" and I prayed for our friends while I worked.  Their baby brother got a caterpillar complete with antennae for chewing.  Nothing was sweeter than watching the girls (and their handsome little brother!) playing with their toys... it made every last blister well worth it!  :)

We love you guys and are so grateful that you came!  Have a safe trip and a wonderful adventure together over the next year!

As promised...

Have fun at your party, Daddy!
