Girls these days

Here's Halle- playing with her "babies," she corrected me when I called them dolls today. She is really into taking care of them and of course reading to them.




Lily gets really excited when I sing "Itsy Bitsy Spider," or "Wheels on the Bus," I love watching her reaction when I sing...

Lily, Meet Lily

Today as I was cleaning the bathroom, I put Lily in her bumbo seat up on the counter so she could watch me. Before long, she was turning her body around as she discovered looking at herself in the mirror. So I turned her around and captured this...

Happy 4th of July

Thankful for Freedom
Thankful for Independence
Thankful for those who have fought to achieve, preserve, and keep these for the future

Louisiana Trip

We just got back from our second summer trip to see Brian's family in Louisiana. Brian took the week to work on his dissertation while the girls and I got to play with his family. We had a lot of fun seeing a few different family members and playing at Mimaw and Pipaw's. Halle was excited about her new sandbox there and insisted on taking her clothes off to play in it.







We also did something really neat, and went to a Safari Park near their home. It was a lot of fun to get to feed all the animals and see them so up close. Halle said her favorite animal was the zebra. She got to feed a baby giraffe which was really cool. It was a great visit and now we're home for the rest of the summer!
