August flew by!

So I thought I would be doing a better job of updating the blog, but August really get away from me! Our summer has been full of much of the same. Reading for the summer library program, swimming when we get a chance, and mostly staying out of the heat.

The top two pictures are of the last story time of the summer - the MPs gave a lesson about safety and deployment. All the kids really liked it - they even got to sit in the back of the police car. I must say that I actually learned a little - for instance - that the backseat of a police car is all hard plastic. Easier to clean up I guess... The bottom left picture is her playing at the awards celebration with some other readers. Anais read so many books this summer - 107! - and she won for her age group (0-4 years). The picture on the right is her with the library director, and Mrs. and Colonel Ayers. Col. Ayers is the base commander! It was so exciting for her to win. Her prize was a $40 Walmart gift card. She decided to get a play iron and ironing board, cash register and groceries, Barbie dress, and play hairstyling/grooming kit with her prize. She is still very much enjoying her reward!

Anais is getting ready to start school in September, and Giselle just keeps getting bigger every day. At her 6 mo checkup, she was 20lbs 4oz and 29" tall. She is over 100% on all categories! She is starting to sit up pretty well on her own, and she is a pro at rolling over. I have a funny video of her and a mirror I hope to get posted soon! Life is crazy with 2 little girls!
