More pictures

No, it's not your imagination...I am actually posting 2 times in the same day. I know, I didn't write for 2 months, and then I go and do this...just trying to keep you on your toes. : )
So, here are a few more pics from the last couple of months...

Ella "helping" to pick strawberries.

Ra and Lil showing off their baskets full of berries.

Ra and Lil being silly with their scarf and hat...on a 100 degree day!!!

Gymnastics portion of "Big Show" Performance at the Little Gym.
Our little dancer. This year, Rachel's class danced ballet to the "Nutcracker Suite" and tapped to "Rockin' Robin".
Lily - being a ham - just before her big performance.
Lily's class did a routine to "Oh Where, oh where has my little dog gone?"...here she is showing her "ears cut short" and wagging her "tail cut long".
Flowers from Grandmommy and Grandaddy!!





In addition 3 trips in June to my mom's to work on her house (to get it ready to sell), we did a little home project ourselves. Here are some pics of our new tile in the downstairs kids' room and half bath. We had someone lay the tile, but we pulled up carpet, painted baseboards, etc. ourselves.




new faucet, too!! Now the water won't spray when you turn it on. yay!!

Rach and Lils greeting Gramma at the train station on a recent visit. They were so excited to see her!!

Alrighty, folks, well I have procrasinated enough on my work for now...gotta wrap this up. By the way, Ella turns one in just 2 days!! So, I will have to put some pics up of her soon. Hopefully, I won't be 2 months late, next time.

Thanks for checking in with us.

Blessing to you, friends!

Lots of Pictures...

Okay, so I have been a horrible blogger lately...or, really, just a non-blogger. So, rather than list everything we've been up to in the last few months, I'll just let you see.


First of all, we went to Disney World in May. SOOO much fun, but a bit crazy trying to fit everything in in such a short time; we've already decided we'll have to stay longer next time. Rob's parents, and his sister Jane went along with us.

Lily and Rachel with Ariel (this was the longest we waited to see a character...over an hour...but she is the girls' favorite!!)

Storytime with Belle in the Garden next to the Castle. Belle pulls kids up on stage to help act out her story. VERY fun!!

Rachel and Lily create their own ears...they chose the style, the ears (well, they were out of the pink fluffy ears), and a patch. You can't tell from this pic, but Rachel's has pink fur around the edges, and Lily's reminds me of a disco ball since it's a bit irridescent.

On the ferry from Fort Wilderness (we stayed in the cabins there) to Magic Kingdom.

Breakfast with Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter. Mary Poppins and Tigger and Pooh were also there. YUMMY food too!!

The famous picture of the family in front of the castle at Magic Kingdom. Too bad Ella wasn't looking.

Ella, hangin' out in the Ergo on my back, with her new ears.

Me, Ella, Jane, Lily, Sally (hiding behind Lily), and Rachel at DinoLand in Animal Kingdom.

Rachel was just barely tall enough for some of the rides, but did all the big roller coasters we did - Splash Mtn., Space Mtn., Expedition Everest, and Thunder Mt. Railroad (her favorite). Lily loved the Magic Carpet Ride (or "Jasmine" as she called it) and Small World. She was disappointed that Cinderella's Carousel was closed but is looking forward to riding it, along with the "big people" rides next time we go.

More pics coming....stay tuned!!
