Mystery

Amelia had a very odd brown spot suddenly appear on her foot and a slightly lighter and smaller one at the top of her foot. We learned the day before it showed up that her teachers had painted both her feet black to make footprints for a Father's Day gift. But it was 24 hours later before we noticed the spots and it was just on one foot. After being perplexed and a little worried, we took a picture and sent it off to Aunt Michelle who checked it out and passed her phone to a couple of other doctor friends who all decided it was nothing to worry about. We still aren't sure if it was the paint or not, but it is finally almost gone.

Spooning it Up

Amelia has been working on her utensil skills. Spaghetti and yogurt make both fun and messy practice subjects.


























The spaghetti pictures were in May, and the yogurt in June. Her face is just as messy, but she's keeping the table and her clothes a little cleaner.

Crazy Kitchen Kid

I read somewhere that if kids help you cook, they are more likely to eat what you are making. So we bought ingredients to make homemade pizzas and pigs in a blanket. Ainsley absolutely loved cooking with me, but when it came time to eat...she wanted chicken nuggets. Amelia, however, loved Ainsley's cooking.

Shoes

Amelia LOVES putting on shoes. Her shoes, my shoes, Dustin's shoes or Ainsley's shoes...doesn't really matter who they belong to. And this is her favorite position and location for putting them on.

Multipurpose Toy Box

This toy box just might be the best purchase we've made in the past year. Now instead of a mountain of toys on the fireplace always in view, they almost all are hidden in the toy box out of view. Ainsley is learning the new rule of one toy out, one toy in and she loves bossing around Amelia and making sure she knows to only take one at a time.

However, the girls think it just might be the best purchase we've made in the past year because they now have a new perch to watch daddy in the backyard or get a better view of birds and squirrels in the back yard.

Reese

My parents dog, Reese, passed away very unexpectedly. He was a sweet dog and the girls loved him.

Renaissance Fair

We visited Scarborough Faire in Waxahacie with Dustin's family. It was hot. The girls were red in the face when we left, but luckily a little AC did them good and no sunburns resulted.






















It was also interesting...as in good people watching. Very good people watching.














Ainsley, our little fraidy cat, actually got on some rides. We were pleasantly surprised. However, she panicked in the petting zoo when the turtle started following us around.

All Dolled Up!

Someone got into mommy's lipstick when daddy wasn't looking!

Up Close and Personal

Amelia is my little daredevil. She got a little too up close and personal with the side of the bath tub. Thank God for Aunt Michelle! There is absolutely nothing better than a cousin who doubles as a pediatric ER doctor in her spare time to talk you out of taking your child to the doctor on a weekend after viewing pictures emailed to her cell phone.

Perfect Pair of Pigtails

I love Ainsley's pigtails. They could not be more perfect. Her hair immediately falls into one perfectly formed ringlet when pulled up into a pigtail.
