Roller Skating!!!

Elle Belle adored the roller skating rank- I adore her eyes!
and this little ducky face that she is doing lately~
She adored her Booky~
Emmy LOVED roller skating. She patiently waited for Uncle Josh and Booky to visit so that we could go skating.
There were some highs--
lots of them~


and there were some lows~though not as many lows.
oh- and there was blood~
and tears.
but all in all- fun times were had by all.

Emmy really did have the time of her life.

She wants to go back right now.

Water Babies!

Are you kidding me?!
the cutest bum in the world.
I love this pic because Emmy is having the time of her life.
Emmy will forever be a water baby-- and Ellie is following in her footsteps.

Then and Now-- I still love scrubs!

Emmy
Ellie

*I think I'm going to take a pic of each baby like this- hopefully, the surrounding will improve each time ;)

My 6 month old~waaaaaa!

How is it possible that this little lovebug is 6 months?! I HATE it- I want her to stay frozen like this forever...
She is on suicide watch~
She LOVES her sister- they are BFFs!
She is BUSY-- she is scooting and rolling everywhere.
She is a VERY easy smiler- unless she doesn't know you-- then, no dice.
She has the MOST edible profile in the world.
I call her octopus arms- because she somehow gets into everything.
I can't get over how much I enjoy Penelope- everything about her is perfect. She literally delights me constantly!

Grammy's b day!

Make a scrapbook

Family Medicine!

Jason just finished Family Medicine-- it was a sad day...
He worked with Dr. Livia Capuy- we love her!


He also got to work with Dr. Halbert Capuy-- they are the nicest people- with a friendly office and we are sad to have this time end-- Jason liked FM and said that if that's what he ended up in he wouldn't be sad- but it wasn't necessarily his favorite either. One down-- on to OB we go!

Prayer Pads

Our most memorable family home evening activity yet!-- I found some gardening kneeling pads at the Dollar Store and thought that we could make them our prayer pads.
The girls LOVED it.
See.
Jason loved it too!
The finished products- front and back.

Home sweet home...South Carolina style

Our bedroom-- nice bed huh! We are leaving so soon that it didn't make sense to put it together.
Several views of the girls room-- please note that Ellie is in a picture on the wall-- that's about all that she gets of this room though-- she still sleeps with us- in Bakersfield she will get to finally share a room with Emmers.
A kitchen shot the L side is looking at it from the living rm-- the right is the what you see if you are standing in our front doorway...
The library ;)
The living room-- the suitcase and couch are now gone (we sold our couches for some much needed cash) but it is a little embarrassing because now the options for sitting are the lovesac or a bright red camping chair-- awesome.Our one fabulous bathroom-- the tub is a miracle.
The BIG negative to this place (aside from the forest green carpet) is that we are on the top floor- no thank you. Emmy loves it though and is my very best little helper!

My best girls!

I could just eat this little lovey up!
Everyone said that I would love Elle Belle as much as Emmy-- I didn't believe them. But it's TRUE!!! I really didn't think it possible but my heart somehow doubled--
I just love this little sweet girlies!
