Happy Birthday, Flannery!

We had a great day at the park with family and friends.  Highlights included sprinklers, bubbles, strawberries, gifts, balloons.

Two Years ago!! 

Happy Birthday, precious one. We love you!

Markers

This one's for Laura. See Lydle isn't the only one with marker frenzy. This was after her bath (I mean her outside-hose-shower to wash off sand), so other than some that rubbed off on her shirt, she went to bed like this. Oops. Earlier in the day, her legs looked like Lydia's too.

Here we have "Funny Bunny" from Mary Engelbreit's, "Lovey Dovey" a.k.a. "Ubby Dubby". :)

Other than that, anyone have any good tips for getting an almost 2-year old to open clenched lips enough for a tooth brush to enter?

Today we had the playground all to ourselves. I followed her around, "Mawwee, come", sliding, laughing, climbing, sitting. What a joy this little growing person!

Aunt Jessie's baby shower

My beautiful sister-in-law, Jessica, is due in August. We loved hanging out with her and Uncle Ryan last weekend.

Mom, Jessica, me.
