Admitting a two year old is RIGHT

We have an 8X10 picture frame on the kitchen table, with a piece of cloth in the picture part.  We have a dry erase marker sitting next to the frame and we have started using it to write notes to each other.  I decided I would use it to write Ellison's bible verse for this month at school, which is: I will be joyful. Habakkuk 3:18.  At the dinner table the other night, Wayne pointed to the frame and asked Ellison what it said.  She recited her verse, loudly.  It truly is the perfect verse for her, because if she is anything, it is JOYFUL!!!  Wayne then attempted to prompt her, "where is it from"?  He was looking for the reference Habakkuk 3:18.....her reply, "The Pen"!  I wish I had my camera to capture her expression, I think she thought it was one of the dumbest questions, she had ever been asked.  We had to laugh because technically, she was correct!

PEACE....I'm in Second Grade

Father time and I have not come to an adequate agreement on slowing down time.  I can not believe that First Grade has flown by and we are now a Second Grader.  She was so ready for school to start back, she missed her friends, her studies and was so ready to be in Ms. Balliew's class.  I love you sweet girl!!!!!

SMORE Kinky curls please

One Saturday we had been doing yard work all day.  Which isn't really easy with the kiddos underfoot.  I was pretty sure they hadn't had a very enjoyable day and our yard work wasn't complete.  We still had a pile of trash that needed to be burned, which sounded like the perfect opportunity for some smores.  We also had a picnic outside and some play.  It was really HOT!  It is crazy what the heat, sweat and humidity do to the girls hair.  Can we say kinky?

All UP from here

Moving on up, to the top.  Moving on UP.  She isn't in the baby room anymore folks.  She has moved up to the 2-3 year old room at school.  She marched in like she owned the place.  It was awesome.  She started on Monday and was then out for the whole week due to her surgery.  I was a little concerned that going back might be hard for her, but she rocked it out.  She has such an independent little personality.

Striking a pose

Hands on your hip, check!!!!  This is the girls a few Sunday's ago before Church.  They were suppose to wear their matching outfits like Hadley's.  Ellison had hers on and it fit, but because of the slick material and the wider neck, as soon as she started playing it started sliding off her shoulders.  Knowing we can't keep her still, we are going to have to let her grow into hers a little more.  Aunt Momo, they are adorable.  Thank you!!!!!
