JELLO

Audrey and I made Jello today. She couldn't wait to eat it after dinner.

This was Alaina's first Jello.

She was quite fascinated with the strange stuff and quickly decided that she liked it.

Yummy!

Sweet Moments

Alaina is getting so big that she and Audrey are doing alot together. It is so fun to see them playing together.
Last night, after the girls squeeled in the sprinklers for awhile, the 3 of us got to lay down together in Audrey's bed and do our bedtime routine all together. It was so sweet - the 3 of us laying side by side in Audrey's twin bed. We read a fun little story about a sleepy ladybug. Alaina growled when we saw the tiger in the book. Audrey patted on Alaina. We read Audrey's Bible story about Jesus healing a lame man. And we held hands and prayed thanking God for our home and our family and especially for giving Mr. Stu a new heart.
It was such a sweet moment as I held their precious little hands. One of many more to come. Thank you God for my little girls.

Monkey

We seem to have a little monkey around here...

These girls are so much fun!

Somersault

Someone's been practicing somersaults around here...

Good job big girl!

Hot Summer Evening

It's hot. Really really hot.

Last night after dinner we played outside a bit. The girls aren't big fans of the sprinkler, but they LOVE the water hose.

Here's some water hose fun...

Laina telling us all about it...

Nettie enjoying the evening...sort of...she's hot...

But she's cute...

Daddy and Audrey doing a little watering...

Nice evening... but looking forward to cooler days to come.

Kiss

In the Douglas house we very often have this little face coming at us asking for a kiss...
(Nettie not excluded)

And then she asks for a hug.

And then she says "bye"

and then she's busy again.

And at bedtime everyone gets this sweet little kissy face before she heads off to her room.

Couldn't you just eat her up?!

Play time

Fun time with the family...

building with Bapa

Audrey not too fond of a lizard

cooking with Mommy

And playtime with Daddy

And last, but not least, some ring around the rosie...sort of...
(they do play ring around the rosie really well together...just not today...)
