On Our Way

On our way for ice creme in Old Forge, 4th of July weekend.

Mister Bear

Meet Mister Bear, he has been Zoe's trusted friend since almost the beginning. Mister Bear goes everywhere, this is a portrait taken at the park as he was getting ready to slide.

Tubby Talk

In last nights tub, the girls used their popsicle sticks as "paint brushes". They each claimed a side of the tub as their own and began to "paint" with water. The sweet part was, each would ask "can I paint on your wall", and when I asked what they where painting Maddy said my family . . . awwwww . . . and Zoe said mountains, and then they went on to tell me all about the different animals they where drawing.

Who needs paint, and paint brushes when all you need is a tub of warm water and popsicle sticks.

Little Helpers

These days the girls always want to pitch-in to help, like it or not. We spent part of Sunday morning grocery shopping - really slow, while the girls pushed the cart through the isles.

Two Little Monkeys

The girls have been taking a tots gymnastics class. Lots of bouncing, running, climbing, hanging off bars, and basic fun. It's great to see them at the park confidently playing on all the structures. I get a kick out of Maddy that tries to catch the attention of anyone who will look her way to show off her skills. The other day it was a little boy, she kept calling over to him "boy, look at me go down the slide", "boy look at me climb the ladder". "Boy" was not so interested.

Need

There is a lot of "I need, and I want" going around at our house these days. At one point, Maddy was stuck on just saying "I need . . . ", and Zoe took up saying "I want . . . ", now they have combined efforts into one " I need . . . ".

I keep telling them Mommy "needs" a lot of things too.

Father's Day 2010

Lots of hugs, and kisses went to Daddy on Sunday. The girls painted a great sign, and helped make Father's Day memorable for Jim this year.
