Barbie's

I am really not sure that I am ready for Andrea to want to play with Barbie's. I feel like it is a sign of her growing up. She loves them at Nana's house and I have a strong feeling we will be bringing some home very soon.

This is my very favorite picture of me with the girls! We were playing chase and I actually managed to catch both of them at the same time. I love the game of chase the giggling that comes from each of them is so different yet similar and addictive. I love hearing the laughter of my children. There is not a sweeter sound. 

Nana with Ahleah. They are both in love with each other. I can't tell who works harder at making the other smile. I can't believe how quickly Ahleah has grown. She will never stop amazing me. 

4th of July!

For the 4th of July we traveled to Towanda to spend the holiday with my family. Andrea went to the fireworks with Nana, Pappy and Aunt Tammy. She loved them and was a little frightened by the noise. She asked to see fireworks every day for the following 2 weeks. Ahleah did not go as I worried that the noise would be too strong for her young ears. She was very happy during this visit and we all enjoyed comparing the little ones. Kyla has grown so much since we have seen her last. She looks more like Dave than I though she would. A very happy little girl.

Here is Uncle Dave holding Kyla and Aunt Jessie holding Ahleah. Both girls smile so easily and have the prettiest big blue eyes.

Andrea was playing with Play doh and haveing a great time. I had to join her for a tickle and a kiss. I like to watch her with play doh for some reason I think I may have eaten it as a child and don't think it is the healthest choice for a snack.

Baptism

Here are the girls who participated in Kyla's baptism. Tammy, Jess's sister Jenn, Jess and sweet baby Kyla.



















Below are pictures of the after baptism party. Andrea had a great time playing with Aunt Tammy, and Aunt Jessie's nephews. She really enjoyed swimming and all of the kids so much. Ahleah and Kyla made cooing noises at each other and ate up all of the attention that they received.

Chris and I have made the choice to Not have our children baptised. It is a choice that we will support them in if they choose to in the future. We do however support each family's own decision and enjoy attending the services and ceremonies for baptism.
