Skyla 2006

Les just found this picture. I can't believe how much she looks like Jude!

Bike Riding

Skyla is so excited to be riding her bike with out training wheels!

"August, Did You Draw On Jude?"

August and Jude were under the table today while I was helping Skyla with her school work. It took a while for her to admit it. :)

Aquarium

Today we went to the Georgia Aquarium and then had a picnic at Centennial Olympic Park. It was really fun. I was surprised by how excited the girls were to see everything. They ran around and acted like they had never been there before. Maybe because it was not very crowded they enjoyed it more. Jude was so cute. He was constantly pointing to the fish and making all kids of "oooohhh" sounds. We even got to see part of the tank that is usually closed except for special events. An employee took us upstairs to show us but most people didn't know it was open so we were the only ones there for a while. It was so quite and we sat watching the animals in wonder for a long time. I really enjoyed having a picnic with the kids too and just having the chance to be outside together and away from our normal routine. Not a bad way to spend a Wednesday!

Tree House Update

It is finished! Thank you Lester...it is awesome! I am really excited about the pulley. The girls love to send things up and down to each other. It is fun to see them enjoy their own little space outside. Last weekend they packed their lunch and ate in the tree house. Now Les is working on adding a tire swing.

Go Jude!

Yes....it's true! In case you haven't heard yet, Jude is walking! At 20 months old he decided it was time. We are all so excited. Check him out...

Neighborhood Egg Hunt

I LOVE that our neighborhood does this! It is perfect. We walked as a group and went to 10 houses for egg hunts. We also gathered at the last house for lemonade and snacks. It is the perfect mix of community, fun, and tradition we love all bundled up with such wonderful simplicity.
