Swim Suit!

Danielle got a new swim suit last week. She tried it on in the morning before a pool party that we were invited to.....

She was very proud of it -- she picked it out at the store!
She especially liked Ariel and the ruffle skirt........and then insisted on putting on her 'water shoes' and showing them to the camera....(not the best shot, but funny nonetheless)
....and then she refused to take them off for the rest of the morning -- and even took her nap wearing them. And yes, she had a blast at the pool.....and Mom wasn't smart enough to remember to take any pictures with the camera that she packed in the bag!! Gr.

Girl Time

The girls were being cute the other day, and I even managed to catch a few snapshots of them hanging out together!

Ashley being her adorable little self.....
Girls chatting.....need I say more?

Danielle was showing Ashley her sippy cup....

....and then she showed me her 'Big Sister' shirt. Thank you, Grandma Sweetie!!

Driving to Lake George

How it is even possible to fall asleep like this, I have no idea!

Dedication

The baby dedication service was a few Sundays ago, and although we took the camera, we forgot to have anyone take pictures during the service with it. What is a dedication? It's a public statement that we want to raise our children to follow the Lord, with His guidance in our home and in our actions. It's not a part of baptism, it really is more of a statement of our intent to follow Jesus' example as we navigate the path of parenthood. The service went great (both girls were great with Pastor Bruce) and we had lunch with all the family at Lakeside afterwards. Bob treated all the kids to candy sticks....which of course was a BIG hit!

Sitting nicely next to Daddy with her special candy....
....and absolutely loving it.....

....and then we tried to take some pictures of the two girls in their pretty dresses.....

....which had some interesting results.....

....and was further complicated by Danielle's dress being slippery.....
