A weekend of play

This weekend I took the girls out to explore our new town. We went to the park on Saturday and the girls enjoyed the swings, as usual, and also had fun playing on the slides. It was really hot, so when Alaina started sweating I decided it was time for some ice cream. I'd heard about this place called Goodberry's so we went there for an afternoon treat. It was very good custard and reminded me of Ritter's back home. The girls of course enjoyed their vanilla with peaches and cried when it was gone. Today we took a trip up to the state farmer's market and bought some fresh fruit and veggies. The girls loved the peaches and we're happy to carry them around the house and eat when we got home. Our days are getting longer with the girls growing up...now starting around 6:30 and ending close to 8:00! By the end of the day I'm ready to go to sleep with them! Even though I get frustrated at times, who couldn't love these faces...

A day at the backyard beach...

I bought the girls a pool a few weeks ago and today we decided to spend some time in it. They both enjoyed splashing around and cooling off from the sun. Hope you enjoy these pics!

We're growing up!

Now that we've moved into the house I finally have time to update our blog. I can't believe that Alaina and Abbie are 18 months old already! How time flies! The girls are enjoying their new house and room, they love the "ugs" on their walls. Besides the fact that they can walk around at high speed now, they are also climbing the stairs and learning new words. They can tell you all the features of their face, although they still like to call the nose an eye. They have also been saying their colors, their favorites are "puple" and "ewow". Their favorite new word...EAT. If I followed their directions to eat we would be at the table all day! Anytime they see a table they think it's time for food! Abbie is also mastering her eating skills...she is able to eat her yogurt with her spoon with very little mess. Before I know it they'll be off to school:{ Hope you enjoy these new pictures.
