Summer Fun

A trip to the aquarium was followed by a New England meal of fried seafood. At the restaurant there is a carousal that donates all proceeds to a charity. Meilin enjoyed her ride but there was no platform for me to stand on so she couldn't ride a horse. She sat in a wagon with Kailei. She LOVED it! I'm sure she would enjoy the horses even better but she is too little to sit by herself on one. As always Kailei kept a close watch on her baby sister.

Photo Shoot

I took the girls to a photo shoot today. Let me tell you, I was sweating by the time we were through. At 19 months, Meilin is on the move! She had no desire to sit and pose for pictures. Oh well, the girls kissing is worth the time spent. I will try and get some more candids of them in their green outfits. Outside will probably be best because Meilin has so much room to move.

A Good Book

Who doesn't love a good book! Meilin and Kailei both enjoy reading books. Meilin squeals with delight when one of us sits in the chair with a book to read to her. Kailei read to her today. "Mama Says Shhh" is her favorite book.

The girls have such a great time on this little toddle bike. Kailei has taught Meilin to lift her feet up on the front and she will push. Then when it is Meilin's turn, Kailei lifts her legs. The belly laughs coming from them both tonight brought happy tears to my eyes. Two sisters at play. My dreams have come true!

BLING!

It was a momentous day in our house today. Kailei woke up wanting her ears pierced so off we went to Claires. They did a great job. Everything was clean and sanitized! Kailei didn't even flinch! She is as beautiful as ever in her new bling.

Mama's Little Love Bug

Meilin is a little love bug. She gives kisses several times a day without me even asking her. She puckers up her lips and plasters a wet one on me. I love every minute of it. My friend Kelly captured a kiss at the lake. Thanks Kelly for taking the picture. I don't have many pictures with my girls and me since I am usually behind the camera.

Fun With Friends

We were lucky enought today to be blessed with our friends joining us at the lake. The three little girls were too adorable together! The bigger girls had a great time swimming and building in the sand. As you can see from the picture of Meilin in the chair, she was worn out by 2:00! I LOVE summer!

Dinner at Auntie's House

The girls and I ate at Trevor and Heather's house the other night. Meilin enjoyed eating the corn but would not pick it up with her hands. She kept it on the tray and bent over to take her bites. Too funny to watch. She is also amazed by Gavin. She kept walking over to him while he was in the swing. Meilin babbled away to him. Being the good sport that he his, he sat and listened!

Flowers

The girls and I spent the day at Elizabeth park today. We had a picnic lunch, watched the ducks and stopped and smelled the roses. It was a fun day with my two girls.

A Mess? I Didn't Do It!

Well, I decided it was time that I let Meilin feed herself yogurt. As you can see she enjoyed herself and made a rather big mess in the process. Thank goodness for bathtubs!!That is where she headed immediately after finishing her yogurt. It is such a sweet messy face though!
