Matching outfits

As a mother of two little girls, I have been looking forward to dressing the girls in matching outfits. Today was the first time I dressed them alike and it was so much fun. It sure was hard getting a good picture of them both smiling, but this one turned out ok.

Mary is almost 5 months old now, I can't believe it!

Mary rolled over again!

The blog has not been working so that is why there has been a delay in posts. But luckily today it appears to be working. I pray it continues to work.

These pictures are from a few weeks ago, Mary rolled over again. Watch the video to see for yourself.

Works!

Helping Daddy with his Project

This past weekend Jim put up a garage, it basically looks like a huge tent. Emily was a wonderful helper and we were amazed at how strong she is!

Just like daddy!

"Daddy let's not mess around with pulling the posts; let's carry them!"

Using the shovel just like daddy.

"Do you want the dirt right here dad?"

Jim checked to make sure it was level.

Her little feet

I had to take this picture of Mary's little feet sticking out from under the blanket when she was sleeping this week.  It also looks like she is sleeping with one eye open.  I think she is almost too big for this cosy bed, but she still loves it and takes the best naps in her little bed.

Bike Ride

Jim took Emily on a bike ride this week.  She absolutely loved it!  When she came home she told me about the farms they saw with horses, cows and calves too!  Emily said daddy went REALLY fast, the only downer was the water bottle got her shorts wet.

FYI - Notice the yellow weeds in the back of this photo, they are dying now, but they  have been 

Emily's First Day of Preschool

Today is Emily's first day of Preschool.   She was so excited and ready to go!  I curled her hair and she had a yogurt and ham for breakfast, so she was ready!  

Check out my backpack!  Look familiar?  It was handed down from Aunt Sarah!

When we got to Preschool Emily found her name and hung her backpack and sweatshirt on her hook.  Emily used the bathroom and then we did the question of the day.  The question was what is your favorite color?  We put Emily's name up next to blue.  Emily asked for a hug and kiss goodbye, she kissed me and Mary and we left.  NO CRYING!  I couldn't believe she didn't cry, she has been crying when I leave her at Sunday School or other places.  But we have been talking about Preschool for MONTHS, so I think she was ready.  I know she'll do great, but wow do I miss her, the house is almost too quiet!
