We are in business!

We finally did it! Josh and I started a cake pop online business.
We are working through Etsy and have just gotten started. Please visit our site and check back often as we are updating regularly.

Curious George is coming to town...

I have two thoughts about this:

1.) "Oh, how my girls would LOVE this!!!!!!"
2.) "Maybe they should charge a little more and hire a proof reader. Seriously!"


Did you miss it???? Look closer.



Once I pointed the word out to her, even my six year old knew it wasn't right. Maybe Curious George should spend sometime "Between the Lions".

We've been busy, but nothing really worth reporting.

shoe modeling

bird watching

napping

exercising/dancing

toe nail trimming
(I love the concentration on her face.)
Dressing ourselves

Josh's cousin, Micah, is attending OC and we are thankful to have him around. I know the girls will really enjoy his energy and attention. I suspect we will see a lot of him!

School is still a big hit. Bren loves her teacher, friends, and routine. Yesterday, Daddy and Piper ate lunch with her in the cafeteria, which was a really big deal in her world. I think she will talk about that for weeks to come.

Piper seems to like the down time when Bren is gone, but she is always ready to go get her from school

Ready or not, here she goes...

-----------------------
And then I got this email a few minutes ago:
Piper is sitting here at the desk scribbling on a notepad while I work on the computer.

"What are you doing," I ask.
"Writing a note. It for Sam," she says.
"Is he your special friend?"
"Yeah, he going to marry me. ALL DA TIME!"
"Oh really?"
"Yeah... but not this morning."
"No? When will that happen?"
"Umm, later. After Brenna get home from her school. Maybe Saturday. Ummm, Fursday. He marry me Fursday. Yes."
"How do you know he wants to marry you?"
"Because he want to! ...Fursday."

It seems like only yesterday they were just kids. Wait, they WERE just kids yesterday! Do you think two days is enough time to get a caterer, or should we just do popsicles?

Spielberg? I think not

This is Piper's footage of our recent school store project.

I think we have a while before we should anticipate a nod from the Academy.

We're having a party!!!

Don't worry, girls, your dolls are doing okay while you are away...
...and they know not to eat the mushrooms!!!

For Brenna and Piper

Look what we have growing at our house!!!

We love and miss you. See you Monday.
Love, Mom and Dad

While standing in our driving driveway* watching the lightening to our east, Brenna says to me:

"Hey, Mom, spin in a circle like this and it looks like a tornado is coming."

------------------------------------

*Oh I see, he leaves no comment on the cuteness of his grandbabies pictures, the birthday wishes left for his beloved, or even the things that come from their mouths, but he takes the time to correct my grammar. He is always challenging me to learn, and I love him even more for it. ;)

Happy Birthday, Damma

We have many talented friends....

...and below is the work of one of them. I HIGHLY recommend using Lesley if you are in this area. She has a natural eye and an easy manner about her. She really speaks to the kids and builds a relationship while shooting their pictures, as you can tell.

We had these taken Saturday for Brenna's 6th birthday.
