Get well soon Pops

Emmie and Anabelle love their Pops soooooooo much.  He recently had surgery and the girls spent  a lot of time creating some pictures (some more than others- Emmie).  Check her picture out.  It is covered in stickers.  There was no stopping her- and she actually added a good 10 more prior to delivery.  Anabelle added a few stickers later on as a final touch, but her coloring is top notch.  Pops did great and now these pictures bring a little more cheer to his room!

Swim lessons

We took private lessons throughout the summer and had a really great teacher.  Emmie was paired up with a little boy her same age and they were a great match.  Emmie can't stand getting her face wet and her friend Cooper just dives in, no fear.  We need to work on it next summer.  She did get better as the summer progressed. I wish this pool was in my backyard.

Here they are making BIG splashes

My goggle girl.  Or as she calls them "gobbles".

Blowing bubbles and doing big kicks

This was one of her favorite parts...
I'm a little pancake nice and flat, I'm a little pancake on my back. I'm a little pancake nice and flat, I can float just like that.

Wall crawling like a champ

One of her biggest fans.  I usually had her in the water too, but I think I was feeling lazy this day.

This was another favorite...
Alligator, alligator 1, 2, 3.  Alligator, alligator jump to me!

And here is a little video to prove she was really doing it! 

Summertime!

Summer has been a hot one.  With every day in the 90s or higher, it has been a challenge to get outside.     We have made the best of it and have been having fun a long the way.

Anabelle is really coming into her own.  She has such a personality and loves her big sister.  Here she is tickling Emmie.  It was really such a cute sister moment.

We have spent many days at the pool.  Here are some of the friends.  Ellie, Mary Julia, Will and Anabelle (freaking out!)

Emmie finds ways to have fun with Daddy.  She truly is a peanut.

We had a playdate with Mary Julia and her mommy at the Roswell splash grounds.  It was great and the girls had a picnic afterwards.  These three are a site.

Anabelle has started snuggling up to her cousin McCay.  We have had some good cousin time, but the girls always want more

Anabelle has figured out that she and Emmie can play some while they are in their seats.  This is a rare happy sister carseat moment.
