Hot Feet

The ground was really hot around the pool and I only had 2 pairs of Mini's shoes. I don't think he minded at all. He kept saying "ooooohhhh...oooohhhhh" Look at those tan toes.

Another great day...

We took the shuttle bus over to the resort pool. They loved being without car seats.

Preschool is over... for the summer.

Amelia is offically done with 3 year old preschool. It was a wonderful year.

I cried when I dropped her off on the first day and I got a little teary today because she is such a big girl and before you know it I'll be blogging about college. (sob,sob)

This picture is of her 2 loving teachers, Mrs.Brown and Mrs. Shoemaker.

Mini and Abby get to be in the same class next year too. Hooray!

Vacation fun!

We had a wonderful day at the pool!

Haddie's big smile!

Mr. Independent

The Harkers are in town!!

My sister and her family are here visiting from Iowa for a whole week!!!

We're so excited for the fun.

Cousin Haddie, Mini, Hanker and Scotty Sissy is in LOVE with her baby. She holds her like she's a Cabbage Patch Doll!Hank and Brother are having a blast being crazy.

More baby cuddling. Haddie was so happy to let Amelia squeeze her stuffing out.
We watched as Scott crawled up and over Amelia to be on Hanker's lap.
I think he liked his boy cousin.

Mother's Day fun!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Elizabeth is a DOCTOR!

We had a great time celebrating our friends graduation.

She is now a true doctor/professor. Wow.

Although they moved to Michigan they will always be special friends.

This is a picture of Amelia, Miriam and her cousin Livy.

Dr. Stolle and her daughter Miriam. Congratulations.

Flying Junie

Notice the floaty suit. More flying...
Mini made these for me at school for Mother's Day.

I'm not sure what the art thing is but Mini said we could hang it on a tree or window.

Junie eating!

We try to offer Brother whatever we are eating. (things that he's allowed) Tonight it was hamburger and asparagus. He wants to sit in a chair like us and use a big fork. At this point we are pretty much like whatever he wants.

This video was literally one of three bites he took. We are thankful for every little step.

On another note, our precious Elecare came today.

Early morning swim

Junie was dying to swim. The water was freezing but it was worth it.

Vacation day 3

It was a miracle that they were both looking in the same direction. We tried and tried...



Waiting for a boat ride.

After our big day they went right to sleep.
