Summer 2010

The summer has just seemed to fly by. Its hard to believe that it is August already! Soon school will be starting again, and then it will be back to the grindstone. Once again, I have been remiss in keeping the blog up to date. Hopefully I will get caught up in the next week or so.

The kids are growing so fast and discovering new things by the day. We never know what they are going to wake up doing or saying. Emaleigh woke up one morning and, before I even got her out of the crib, she told me "No". She really has quite the vocabulary.

Both kids are off of baby food completely and eat almost anything!! They love food. Some of their favorites include pancakes, waffles, hotdogs, french fries, and (of course) ICE CREAM!! Although they are not picky eaters and will eat just about anything, they can be picky about what they will like that day. Even some of their favorites they will turn their noses up at if they don't feel like having it. I made Grandma Frutiger's chocolate chip frosting the other day and they absolutely loved it! They both do really well with a fork, but are still having trouble with the spoon.

Emaleigh and Derek are both outdoor kids. They would rather be outside than anywhere else. Lately it's been too hot to go out during the day, but we try to get them out in the evening.

Here are a few random pics from the summer.
