Splash Pad

On Tuesday, we met some of our friends at the Splash Pad.  GA loved it!  She played for two solid hours and still wasn't ready to leave.  Lizzie and I, on the other hand, were tired of the heat and ready to get home to an AC!  I thought GA would fall asleep in the car on the way home after playing so hard, but actually she came home and never took a nap that day!  I wish I had that kind of energy!

"Come on, Harris!  Lets go over here!"  (GA tends to be a little bossy with her friends.  I don't know anyone else like that :-)

Gymnastics Birthday Party

Our sweet friend Peggy had a gymnastics birthday party today.  GA had SOOO much fun!  She was WILD-jumping around everywhere!

Three Months

Lizzie is three months old today!  Wow, does time fly!  She is doing great.  She sleeps about 9 hours at night in her miracle blanket and nap nanny.  She is a good, happy baby but does prefer to be held (Will says I've spoiled her!) She loves to be talked to and coos and gurggles back to us. She also likes the mobile in her bed and starts smiling every time I wind it up.  She has a pitiful cold right now (coughing and sneezing) but she is being a trooper.  At the doctor yesterday she weighed 13 pounds.

To compare, this is a picture of GA the day she turned 3 months. Totally different!  Similar eyes-they both have extraordinarily long eyelashes, same pug nose, but Lizzie doesn't have those cheeks! Strangely, Lizzie weighs more even though GA looks chubbier in pictures.

Stolen Pictures from Ben's Birthday

I didn't get any pictures from Ben's 5th birthday, so I stole these from Laudan's blog.  I wanted to post them so they would be included when I print the blog into a book.   The party was so fun - a pirate theme with a water slide!

 

Laudan made this cake herself.  It was awesome!



Few Pictures from This Weekend

Unfortunately, I'm finding that I'm not able to take nearly as many pictures with two kids!  (Especially because I usually have a baby in my arms)  We had a busy weekend - Will played in a golf tournament and Ben turned 5!  We will have to rely of Laudan for birthday party pictures, but here are a couple I did have a chance to snap!

This is what Lizzie's hair looks like if we don't brush it after her bath!

And this is her hair when we have been out in heat all day!

So one of the best parts of having two girls is dressing them in adorable matching clothes!  I wanted a cute picture so badly, but this was the best I could do with two TIRED girls!
