Caught Up!!

Well, it only took me about a year, but I am finally caught up with my blogging!  (See below the multiple posts from today!)  Just in time for school to start and for me to get behind again.  The goal is to keep caught up every month!  I scheduled it on my calendar for the first of every month to get my pictures in order from the previous month and blog about it, so hopefully I can stay more up to date and even better, to post more than that!  We will see how it goes with Grady starting kindergarten, Brynlee starting preschool, Ellery starting daycare, and adjusting to 3 kids while working full time with 2 in school!  :)  Much fun ahead!!

Still loves to be moving at all times!  Rolling all over, wants to sit up, with minimal assistance, wants to be standing and bouncing at all times.  Loves the exersaucer.  Loves to be talked to or sang to.  Very dramatic, smiley and talkative all the time.  Reminds us so much of Grady and his dramatic ways.  She is very excitable and social.  She has a very loud squawk and loves to ‘yell/talk’ to the kids all the time.  She is at such a fun and adorable stage right now!

Grady did a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle clinic at Tiger Rock Academy.  He loved it.  They have a week long camp this week that he/I really wish he could do but he was already signed up for a zoo camp this week.  Bummer.

Taking both of our babies on a walk.  Love how her baby is being carried while she pushes the empty stroller.  I feel her pain.  Smile

Stella’s Baptism

Our niece, Stella (Paul’s brother Mike’s daughter), was baptized 4th of July weekend.  It was a good chance to try out my new camera so I took a ton of pics!
