First lake trip of the year!

We spent the Memorial weekend at the lake. The kids did wonderful; Emily swam in the lake for the first time (not a big fan of the life jacket though) and Allison enjoyed her first boat ride. Aunt Mary Ann was there too and it was nice to visit with her. We had lots of friends stop by to say hello. Hope everyone had a great weekend. We will be busy for the next few weekends with parties and birthdays, etc., BUT our new camera came today and I will be attempting to learn how to use it and hope to post some new pictures soon - if I can get through the huge instruction manual. I'm so excited about the camera!! Happy Anniversary, Mother's Day and Father's Day to Mark and I. Enjoy the photos and have a great week!!

Fun day at the park!

Emily kissing Britton!


"Ring around the rosy...." with mommy


"Cheese"


Allison just chilling out!

We had a great playdate last week with a friend of mine (Meg) and her son. We had a picnic and played all afternoon. We had a blast and Emily just loved kissing Britton. It was Britton's first trip to the park. All the kids did great!

At our house....

What's been going on at our house??? Let's see, Allison had her 4 month checkup last Thursday and she is doing perfect. Her weight is 12# 3 oz and she is following the growth curve on all measurements. Emily's last day of CDO was on Friday, May 16th. We were sad to say good-bye to her teachers but we'll check on them next year. She has learned so much from them and has made so many great friends. We can't wait for school to start up again in the fall, especially mommy. We are going to have to find lots of new things to do over the summer and schedule tons of playdates. Emily also started sleeping in her "big girl" bed on Saturday night. So far, so good - as long as mommy "sleeps" with her! Nap time is still a challenge but she is doing great!! Allison continues to be a very happy infant and we are so thankful for that. Daddy is staying busy with traveling every week to St. Louis, MO but we have been able to have some wonderful family time over the weekends. Mommy even went and 'played' tennis twice this weekend!! We have some busy weekends coming up - lots of parties and trying to get to the lake to ride in the boat!! And of course getting ready for big sister's birthday - the big 2!! Where has the time gone?? Emily and Allison are anxiously awaiting the birth of their new cousin anyday now. Hope this finds everyone well and that you are having a great week!! Enjoy the pics to follow....

Having fun on the floor!

Playing outside!

Last day of school with Ms. Marilyn & Ms. Julie

Where's Emily?

ROLLING OVER!!

Allison rolled over for the first time today!! She can go both ways from her tummy to her back! I need to make this a quick post, as the weather is getting severe and the sirens are going off. Enjoy!!

Cute!

Just a very cute picture of Miss Emily before school this morning.

Busy, busy!!

Our future tennis champ!!


Fresh air makes me tired!!


She loves the see-saw!!



Lovin' life!


"One more time Mommy!" (mommy needs a tan ;-)

Sorry I haven't been a very good blogger lately. We've been staying busy. The girls are getting so big and are so much fun. Emily is quite the entertainer - never a dull moment around here!! Daddy was home most of last week and we even got to go watch him play in a tennis tournament over the weekend. Emily had a blast and daddy played well too! Enjoy the new pics and have a great week!!
