Friends

My friend Judi has 4 children and she wanted to go on her church's mission trip so I volunteered to watch her younger two and she would take the older two. I watched Hannah who is 20 months and Sarah who is about 9 months on Thursday and they spent the night and left Friday evening. Let's just say I was exhausted! They are terrific kids but with three in the house I was going non-stop. Certainly made me appreciate mothers who have more than one kid! Thursday night we went out in the backyard and swam and got on the swing. It was a great time. Abbie loved having Hannah to play with.

July 4th

I know it's a bit late but at least I am writing. This year we let little Abs stay up for fireworks. She loved them! That night she didn't get in bed till 11! and of course was up bright and early. We had friends come over and we cooked out, played games, then loaded up to enjoy a great night in Texas!

Firetruck

We have adopted a fire station here in town and on holidays we take them some sort of goodies. Abbie loves the firetruck too. They are very nice and welcoming of our hospitality. While we there the alarm went off and they had to leave. Not before Abs had a chance to sit in the firetruck though.

Magic Ink

Yesterday I was in the study with Abbie while she rummaged around, something she does quite a bit. I turned around to see this scene appear.


I took the PERMANENT marker away and she kept telling me, "Yeah!" No, not this one! Then I looked and noticed this. Look closely. She marked on Landry.


Needless to say, regular soap and water does the trick of getting it off. This time.
