Update on my daughters


Here is a little update on my beautiful girls!

Lily- I love age 7! She can do so much and participate in so much. She has been busy learning violin (if I can ever remember to have her practice...oops). She is also wanting to get into drama classes. This summer she has been at the Creation Xpo Science camp and at James Rivers Kids Camp. She loved both experiences. She is definitely a child that loves being with other kids and she loves trying new things. She also had a great time at vbs. She keeps me so busy. She is also getting an allowance now for keeping her room clean, cleaning the table after each meal, putting away laundry, and helping with a happy heart whenever asked!

I have started to see how sensitive her little heart is. Yesterday at church, she dressed up in red, white, and blue for their Olympics fun. She told me when she got home that everyone who was dressed up went on the stage and nobody laughed when they saw her outfit. She was sad about that. I told her that I didn't know we were suppose to be funny and that we will try harder next time. She recovers quickly from disappointment, but it is still hard to see her when she gets crushed or disappointed!

Valerie- My four year old or as she would say, "I'm almost five!" (not)! She is still my shy little cookie, but she really loves participating. It was fun watching her at vbs. Each day she struggled with letting go of me and she normally had a worker hugging on her, but she loves doing activities. She won a kindle and a new bike at vbs so she is a happy little girl right now. She is also getting braver with her learning. She is normally scared to show off what she is learning until she is really good at it, but she is getting better. She is also excited about speech starting up in a couple of weeks!

Daphne- What to say about her! She is 2 years old now and getting potty trained. She is doing really well at it! We have been working since Monday and she has been having one accident a day and that is with us going to friend's houses and the park, etc. She is such a smart little girl. She loves singing, "Ring around the rosie". That is her favorite. She also sings "Twinkle Little Star" but not very well. She is trying to sing her ABC's. It is cute! She is not very big on performing for the camera though! :)

Our whole family is enjoying summer, but getting ready and prepared for a new school season!
