Backlog (part 1)

We went on a trip to Portland, OR in August to see Uncle Paul, Aunt Lara and Baby Owen. The girls are seasoned air travelers, but this time, Abby found that each seat has its own paper bag puppet. Very exctiting!




Here are both girls loving the swingset near Baby Owen's House. Papa is a good pusher.

First Haircut

When I took Abby to get her haircut before the first day of school, I decided it was time to get Lily her first cut.







Lily was a perfect angel during the haircut, partly because she had just watched Abby safely live through the experience and, mostly, because she spent the entire time trying to open a lollipop wrapper with her teeth. She was very happy when she finally succeeded. I'm pretty sure this was her first piece of hard candy.

New Swingset

Grandpa and Daddy found a used swingset and hauled it to our new house.

Fancy Hat

Especially for Papa who loves a lady in a hat.

ROOOOWWWWRRRR!

We went to a community soccer camp each night last week and Abby got her face painted like a tiger, which lasted 30 seconds on her face before she wanted it removed. I think the paint was itchy. At least we got this picture before it disappeared.

It's no fair being the youngest

Abby is allowed on Grandma and Grampa's porch while Grampa is cooking on the grill; Lily is not.





(It looks like Abby is being meaner than she really is. She's just trying to make Lily laugh.)

Splash

Abby is often very happy to play games at Lily's level.
