Lillie's growing up!

Lillie sat up all by herself about 2 weeks ago. AND, she stayed up. She'll do it for quite a while, if she's in the mood to hold herself up. Anyway - here's the photographic evidence:

Horseback riding....

We ventured out to Lee County last week. Sara-Kate and Josh both did a spot of horseback riding....Sara-Kate was born for it. Seriously. She was born to ride.

Virginia Beach!

Well, this summer started off with a trip to Virginia and Virginia Beach. We picked up the boys in Williamsburg, and then travelled over to Virginia Beach to spend time with sister Carol and her family. She lives about a mile from Chesapeake Bay, so that's where we took our beach pictures. It was fun, but I discovered that with little ones, I am a pool person. There you have it. Sad, but true.

Apologies, apologies...

Summertime, despite not having to "work" (ha! yeah, right), is actually pretty busy. I'll try and get some new stuff up for our friends and family tonight or tomorrow. We do have new pictures of the boys, the girls, the puppy (yes, the puppy), BUT I need to edit them to get them ready to post. So, there's the delay. Love to all, and check back soon! I'll have something fun to see soon, I promise. :)

Bedtime Bum!

Well, so far, so good on the cloth diapering front. Of course, it's more laundry, but diaper laundry is pretty easy, and it all goes in a basket, no worries about folding, etc.

Anyway, as I was putting Sara-Kate to bed last night, I couldn't resist a picture. We have to double stuff our diapers for nighttime use (obvious reasons), and the result is a - BEDTIME BUM!

I personally love the look on her face. Is it not the cutest?

Fluffy bums!

Well, our cloth diapers arrived yesterday (happy birthday to me!), so we got them all washed a ready to go. So, the journey of cloth diapering begins. I'll let y'all know how it goes. In the meantime, here's a picture or two of Lillie in her Smartipants. :)

Memorial Day!

First, and most importantly, I want to say THANK YOU to the veterans of the Armed Services. So many have paid the ultimate price that is a debt we can never repay. As the saying goes, "the soldier, not the reporter, gives us freedom of the press. The soldier, not the protestor, gives us freedom of speech."

Secondly, in honor of our Memorial Day holiday and our nation's upcoming birthday, I made the girls new outfits. What do you think of them? Sara-Kate does not like hers and refused to wear it for more than 5 minutes. Yes, my friends, the terrible 2s have arrived. She does have a mind of her own. I will love that about her, but it can make dressing time difficult. She still wore a patriotic outfit, but it was one of her own choosing....Love to all! Sally
