Wow, it’s been awhile since I’ve drafted a post for the blog! Life got away from me, and the more time that passed, the more videos, pictures and stories I had to share…and the more daunting the task became. So in light of that, tonight I’m just going to go blog-crazy and post lots of pictures and videos, and perhaps not as many anecdotes and stories… All is well in our world. Actually…all is AWESOME in our world. God is so faithful to us, and we have so many reasons to praise Him. But as I said, tonight I’m just going to upload lots of pictures and another day I’ll share updates on life of late. Changes to my work schedule, Lydia’s speech progress, Molly’s milestones, etc…
Going all the way back to Father’s Day, here’s a video the girls and I made for Oliver! (I should warn you that it’s 10 minutes long. It’s a video/photo slideshow.) I worked really hard on it, so when the time came to share it with him, I was bummed to discover a few timing errors at the beginning… I really wanted to go back and correct it, but who am I kidding… I don’t have time to be a perfectionist about stuff like that.
The girls have been really busy this summer. Busy having fun! Every Sunday after church we’ve gone to Grammy and Poppy’s house to have lunch and swim. Lydia LOVES swimming!
Lydia is in school this summer, and doing really well. I can’t wait to share more with you about how much she’s talking now! Finally! Praise God! I’ll share more about that in a special blog entry another day. Here she is before school the other day: (although she’s not looking at the camera, I love the picture because she looks like such a big girl!)
Lydia took swimming lessons at the beginning of the Summer. It was just 4 weeks on Saturday, a Parent & Child class. I also enrolled her in a “Fun & Fit” class at the Frisco Athletic Center. It’s just movement, music, dancing, tumbling, etc… We’ve only been to one class so far. She had a fair amount of fun…although she was apprehensive at first. She enjoyed leaping like a frog – that was her favorite part. 
Molly has gotten very good at sitting up, and she loves her exersaucer now. 
Molly loves it when Lydia hangs out by the bathtub during her baths!
And Lydia likes to climb onto my back while I bathe Molly… Like it’s not hard enough leaning over the tub…I really need a 3 year old on my back! 
Opa was in town for awhile, and the girls got to see he and Omi and their cousins Warner and Miles several times. In the picture below: Opa, Omi, Molly and her cousin Miles.
Opa and Molly
Opa found Molly’s funny bone! (Video below)
Somebody thought it would be funny to sit Molly down beside this guy… Just what, exactly, were they suggesting, hmmmm? (Don’t worry, Molly – you may have a similar body type, but you’re WAY CUTER!)
Other Molly moments…
Daddy found Molly’s funny bone, as well.
Gosh, as I’m going through my pictures I’m realizing that I don’t have very many new ones of Lydia! It’s tough to catch her because she’s always on the move! And getting her to pose for pictures is tough, but little Molly is camera-ready at all times! I have hundreds of her lately, but not as many of her sister. I’ll make it my mission over the next week to catch Lydia’s happy little face on camera! At least Molly’s getting lots of camera-time as the second baby. Everyone always jokes about the second child having very few baby pictures as compared to the first, but I don’t know if that will be the case this time.
Well, that’s all for tonight. I feel better having caught up a little bit. More to come very soon…
