Lazy days

We have had a great summer so far and I can't believe it's going to be coming to an end here in a couple of weeks. I thought I'd give an update of the kiddos (thanks, Melanie for the wonderful idea!)

Emily starts school on Aug. 10th - first grade...WHAT? I need to catch a recent photo of her as she has lost her two front teeth! Emily continues to be a "strong" child. We believe that she actually thinks that she is an adult. She is amazing and challenging and beautiful. I love to watch her take care of Molly.

Matthew is going to be so lost when Emily heads back to school, but I think Molly and he can really play together better this year, so hopefully it won't be so bad. Not sure yet if Matthew is going to do 3 year old pre-k this fall. He is still our lover and comes and climbs in our bed to snuggle almost every morning. He is getting so tall and I can't believe he will be four in a month and a half! He is very sensitive, thoughtful and brilliant. He looks like his Daddy and has a big heart like him, too. He loves to say the blessing for our family at mealtime and we think he may become a meteorologist because he is fascinated with the weather.

Molly is always in the mix. She doesn't want to miss out on anything and thinks she's as big as everyone else...she is hilarious, laid back and has an awesome sense of humor. She lives life out loud and dances and sings to every song she hears. She is addicted to milk in a sippy cup and it's hard to get her to eat real food. She loves her "Memmy" and "Bubby" and is definitely a Daddy's girl. She is nineteen months old already!

Camping Fun

We got to participate in a 4th of July parade. It was a golf-cart decorating competition, and our neighbors let us help decorate theirs and the kids got to ride in the parade with them. We won 3rd place!

Abby and Molly loved waving the red, white and blue during the parade!

Fourth of July Fun

We got to meet up with Aunt Melissa and our niece, Abby (between Matthew and Molly) over the fourth for a camping trip to Jellystone Park in KY. It was a blast! This is a picture of the kids (and Mommy) with Yogi Bear.
