Finger Painting Fun

Here are some pictures of the girls trying to make as big a mess as possible  finger paint. 

Mommy - this would be a great color for your shirt!  Come a little closer....

Laney's a bit cross-eyed in this one...

 Looks like Laney's been caught red-handed.  I think she's ready for a clean up already!

Princesses of Hugs

Every once in awhile, something weird happens.  The girls actually play nicely together.  The other day, they dressed up as princesses and sat together nicely on the couch:

 Here's Delaney wondering if her sister's going to squish her.  Emerson looks undecided at the point...

Look Mom - all smiles!

Floating Point

So, a very interesting thing happened the other day.  Apparently there was a decrease in gravity in our living room, right above this random pile of pillows and sofa cushions.  That's how Daddy explained the following pictures.  He assured me it was certainly not from throwing young, helpless children several feet through the air....

Daddy: "See, she's clearly sitting in the air.  My hands are just there in case gravity starts working again..."

Daddy: "And see - it works for Laney too.  She's practically standing straight up.  I definitely wouldn't chuck my sweet little angel into a pile of haphazardly stacked objects..."

Daddy: "Oh, she didn't fall.  She was tired from all the calm, floating in the air stuff that was going on.  Yep.  It was so relaxing she fell asleep.  I had to pull her down and lay her on the ground.  Good thing we had all those pillows there for her to lay on/near."

Daddy: "That's it - wake up sleepy head.  Oh look, Emerson's floating again somehow.  I'll stand back and make sure she doesn't fall asleep too..."

You're so cool baby....

While Daddy worked in the garage with the loud, scary table saw, the girls worked on their fashion poses.  Here are a couple of shots of the girls all glammed up:

Cool sunglasses?  Check.

Cool smiles?  Check.

Cool hair clips?  Check.

Cool poses?  Check.

Managing to get along for five minutes?  Check!

Happy Fourth of July!

Despite the awful heat, we decided to take the girls up to Brownsburg for their Fourth of July parade.  Here are some pictures:

Laney's trying to stay hydrated with good ol' American apple juice.

Here's Emerson and Delaney waiting for the parade to start.  Luckily we had a bit of shade to help stay cool....

Finally, we got to the parade part.  No better way to celebrate the founding of our nation like running out into the busy street to eat candy thrown on the ground by strangers!

It's been a LONG time, but I will try to be better

It has been almost a year since I posted anything on this blog, but it is time to get back to it! Things are going well here. In fact, tomorrow it will be a year since we have lived in our new house. Jeff has been super busy at work and I have been busy with the girls. Everyone is doing great!

Picture Time

A local photographer was offering some free photo sessions, so we decided to take advantage of the offer. Here are a few of the pictures that she took.
