Ok. My Girls Are Adorable

1) Abbie has learned how to say, "Meow." Do you know how adorable it is for her to follow around our kitty cats going, "Itty. It At. Mowwww!"

2) Carolyn will not wear shoes outside. Every day when we go outside she asks, "Momma--Can we go outside in barefeet?"

3) Abbie nods her head yes. You ask her any question and add Abbie to it and she nods and nods and nods.

4) Carolyn prays every night for her and Abbie. The prayer goes something like this: "Dear Jesus. I just pray for Abbie n'me. There's a dinosaur that eats my finger, n'Abbie's finger... And it's scary, and we cry. We don't like it. It's not my fault, Jesus. AAAAMen.

I have the cutest kids in the whole world. The whole wide world.

Haircut

I got really brave tonight and attempted to cut Carolyn's hair. There are a couple of minor things I want to try to clean up tomorrow, but I don't think I messed it up TOO badly.

Wharf Adventure

Today was a good day for an adventure, so we went to our favorite little wharf.



At first we were having fun just playing on the pier...



But since the tide was out, we decided to do something we've never done before and go underneath it to explore the critters on the beach.







God knew we were looking for something special and needed a little dose of encouragement, and sent us something really special.



Hey, Thanks God!

Just Fun

The girls would like to thank Aunt Stacey for the AWESOME packing peanuts and box.



This is what happens when you leave out a cup of yogurt and turn your back for a second.

Planting Flowers

We promised Carolyn for days that we would plant flowers before schedules and rainless days combined to make the perfect day for planting. We all enjoyed the sunshine and dirt.
















Even Chester got in on the sunshine action.

Rhodies!!!

No... Not Rodeffer's (which is what everyone thinks when I say the word)... Rhododendrons!

When Andy was between detachments, we went to Meerkerk Gardens again. The flowers did not disappoint!


I liked these white ones.

IL Visit

The girls and I needed a change, so we went to Papa and Nonna's house. We had such a good time enjoying the sunshine, enjoying friends and family, relaxing and just plain having fun. Despite strep throat, an ear infection, and my washing my cell phone in the washing machine the vacation was just about perfect.

For the record, I'm too lazy to go through and organize the photos, so I'm just going to post them at random. Enjoy!








For the record, in this photo Carolyn is snuggling with a kitty that we got when I was a little girl. She is ancient!!!


Birthday Girl!!!!


New haircut for me!
