Gymnastics photos



































































Kate is not into dresses, but way into Mickey, so her gymnastics outfit is very personalized to her. This was the best way I found to get her to enjoy gymnastics. She still says she doesn't want to go every week. Can't you tell from these action photos that she truly doesn't like it? :) The cutest thing about watching them doing gymnastics is that they always have to be together in line or sitting right next to each other so that they are touching. Every time they are doing their stretches in a group circle, the coach is always scooting them apart so that they can at least have enough space to spread their legs apart during the stretch. Katie, who is currently the more timid of the two, told me the other day that her sister makes her brave. I'm so glad she has her by her side!

Summer pictures

Backyard fun with our playgroup.





























I wanted to see what Lily and Kate's hair looked like curled...


























Daddy reads to Kate and Lily's babies while MiMi, Minnie and Baby Bear listen, too...















































Phil brought the girls some new shoes from China. Look closely at Kate in this picture of the girls sleeping...












Katie REALLY liked her shoes!














More fun sleeping pictures...
Kate still loves her Doggybear.




















How can this be comfortable?!












Making muffins is always a highlight of the week!




















Grandpa is a hit with Lily.
































We miss Sarah!! The summer hasn't been the same without our Sarah. Lily made a flower puppet today and asked me what she should name it. I suggested Petunia, but she said, "No, I'll call her Sarah-tunia." Thanks for babysitting on Friday night. You are the best!

What we did while Phil was in China

First, Vacation Bible School...













I was so proud of the girls for standing in front of the class!




























Next, our little friend, Sam ruptured his appendix. We are so thankful he is ok now. While he and Karen were at the hospital, I got to spend lots of time with the precious Eddins' kids....






































Just had to post this picture of Kate for all of you who have never seen her wild side that she only shows at home.
