Big Girl Food

Lily finally got her first "big kid" food toward the end of July.  She didn't think it tasted as good as mom's milk.

Free Food

We took advantage of the free chick filet chicken when you dress like a cow day.  Joe's such a good sport.  Hannah was not in this picture because she's still scared by the cow.

My Mini Me

 Rachel is my mini me.  This is a picture of the swimsuit she waited all day for.  The UPS man was supposed to deliver mid day but it didn't get to our house until 8pm.  It's funny how excited and focused she gets about things like this.  Rachel is like me in so many ways-She's sensitive to others people's feelings.  Sensitive in general.  Emotional.  Loves a good project.  Loves to be busy. 

It's nice to know where she's coming from.

Lily and Hannah got swim suits too.  Some say Lily is chunky:)

Hannah

Hannah is funny.  She always wants me to take her picture.  These are some of those pictures I take.  She has quite the imagination and is happy to do her own thing.  She'll preform a song impromptu for anyone and will usually custom make that song.  She loves to sing on her microphone and pretend to be a rock star.  I hear her doing this after we put her to bed at night.  She waves and talks to everyone and has a smile for everyone.  When you ask her how old she is she will tell you "5."  I think she thinks that puts her right about at Lincoln and Rachel's age.  She brings a lot of joy to our family.  Just wanted to record some of the fun things about Hannah at this age before  I forget.

4th of July

This is all I got from our 4th of July.  Sadly, it was about all we really did that had anything to do with the holiday-4th of July cookies.  It rained the whole day so a party and fire works were cancelled.  Instead we let them pick a toy from the dollar store.  I think we made the most of a rainy day.

What can I do?

I'm the event coordinator this summer for Rachel.  I thought I really had something going when I told her she was going to do preschool for Lincoln and Hannah.  It lasted 2 days but it was glorious while it lasted.

And she's off!

Lily is now mobile.  She sits and crawls like a pro.  It seems like each kid grows up faster.
