Our Saturday...

Along with really hot temps we have had some really rainy days....

I wanted to capture the puddles...ignore my flower beds. I would love to plant and garden...some day I will.

So crafts it is... cupcake baking cups glued on large popsicle sticks and you have flowers. We also used markers and stickers to decorate.

I am surprised how into crafts Anna is. They both are, but Anna can sit for a much longer time and work. She knows what she wants to do, has a plan, concentrates on her project and is meticulous about her work.

This is one of her flowers...

These are Eliza's flowers...

The flowers were a success.

2 months old

On July 14th Abigail turned 2 months. She is healthy and doing great. She is finally smiling! She has the cutest little smile! She weighs 11lbs 10oz and she is 22 1/2 inches.

I looked up how much the other girls weighed at their two month appointment...

Anna weighed 12lbs 8oz and she was 22 1/2 inches long too.

Eliza was 13 lbs 3 oz and she was 23 1/2 inches long.

Old pictures...

I got these pictures from my mom's camera. They are a little old, but I thought I would add them.

My precious ballerina's

This was back at Christmas. I feel like in just half a year they have already grown.

This was a family picture at Anna's birthday party back in November.

At the park back in the fall...I remember being sooo sick with Abigail, but we went to the park anyway.

Doll Baby

I know I am her mother, but I think this is the sweetest most beautiful little face. I am so blessed to have three of the most wonderful children.

Crafts...

It has been so hot outside that we have had to be indoors. While inside we have been doing lots of coloring, painting, and creating things with play dough. Below are some of what we have been doing . We went to Michael's craft store one morning and I found tinkerbell and cinderella dolls and jewlry boxes to paint and decorate.

4th of July

Our friends next door invited us over for a 4th of July cookout. We had a great time hanging out with friends and then later watching fire works from our back yard. I made my traditional 4th of July cake...

Anna and Andy

Eliza and I tried to get Seth to come over and sit with her, but he is 1 and 1/2 and didn't really feel like it :)

Lately...

Well, we are always busy around here. We came back to Fayetteville when Abigail was 2 1/2 weeks old. We had a nice visit from John's mom and then headed back to SC for a week for Father's Day and my Dad's birthday. We have been going to the pool, playing with our neighbors, we went to Surfside beach for the day and doing a lot of art because it has been SO hot outside!!!

John should be coming home in a month. I am so ready for him to be back. I am ready for him to meet and hold Abigail. The girls miss him and every time he calls they ask him when he will be home. Not too much longer. We have made it this far...the next four weeks should go by quickly.

Enjoy some pictures of my sweet girls!!

So comfortable!!

movie stars...

pretty princesses

so sweet

I love baby feet...

I bought this great tent for the beach and for outside. Abigail loved it and it worked great.

The girls played so hard at the beach. They ran and ran. They played in the sand and jumped over little waves. They loved it! We can't wait to go back in the middle of August as a family :)
