A Week in Review

So we have been having some trouble with "makeup". And by that I mean Emily keeps drawing on her face with markers.  She did this one Wednesday.

"But if I make cute faces you can't get mad at me!"

On the brighter side I got the bookcase put together while she was being so quiet.

Then on Thursday, she was being quiet so I asked Emily "What are you doing?" She replied "nothing don't look at me." Really?

"Have you been drawing on your face again?" She says, "um....probably not." And her Daddy said "you let her draw on her face again?!?"

Then on Friday, on her Dad's watch, this happened.

 Yup.  Notice-on her Dad's watch :) So now I think we really have all the markers put up. Even the ones she had hidden around.

In other happenings, I try to make it a point when we are upstairs not to play on the stairs because that's just not a good idea.  After I had told Emily repeatedly to get off the stairs she posted up with her little toe just dangling right of the edge of the top step...

and fell asleep.  Turkey.

James also got Honorable Mention is Aiken's Best of the Best in the newspaper.

This is considered pretty much a win since all of the independent pharmacies have their techs vote for them over and over and he works at a chain.  Plus we didn't even know to campaign.  Next year we will record a Vincent victory.  And maybe they will call to find out his last name. :)

And here's some cute pictures just to finish up

 Catie-bug enjoyed church :)

Edisto Part Three

So I finally got around to hooking my camera up to my computer and here are the pictures that I took at Edisto this summer.  Being able to upload pictures straight from my phone has got me spoiled!

 Emily got to play with her best friend a little in the sand :)

Those blue eyes :) sweet girl!

We are really looking forward to Hilton Head so we can hopefully have a lot more beach time.  HHI has a lot more sand then Edisto.  We love the beach!

A Day at the Park

The weather here was unseasonably pretty today. It has been so hot and muggy and today there was a breeze in the mid-80's. So we had to get up and get moving and go to the park.

Most of what Emily did was watch the other kids.  She will get right in a group of little girls and run with them and watch them talk...and not say a word.

She's getting to be a real dare-devil!

And a tri-cycle riding pro!

And Caitlyn, our good little sport, enjoys watching!
