what we've been doing...
RELAXING: a sunday visiting small shops, watching the boats go by, eating fudge & ice cream...
PLANTING: the girls loved this "project" and excitedly see if their pots have spouts yet every day! we try to do a fun project like this every day.
KIDDIE ROLLER COASTERS:
DANCING: chloe is obsessed with dance and has started a dance camp this summer: too cute. this picture gives me flashbacks to high school going to cheer or dance practice in my practice clothes, flip flops and toting a water bottle. (can i really be this old already?!) and it also gives me flashforwards to her "real" practices in such a short time. *sigh*
PLAYING: loving the outdoors and our crazy sprinkler which anika had been playing in below. i think ethos water needs this picture as an ad: could you make drinking water look any more fun?!
EXERCISING: see how even little ellie has learned how to do a push up?! seriously though, i have been doing pretty good with trying to get in a good cardio and strength training work out at least 3 times a week. i look forward to being able to do more in the future, but for now...its a great accomplishment. =)
AND, yesterday I had lasik surgery on my eyes. what a miracle. i don't often get nervous, but something about the very small chance of never seeing my little ones again got me a bit nervous. everything went wonderfully and i just can't believe the instant miracle it is! so, although i don't often take pictures of myself, i funkified one of me for my profile pic in honor of my not needing glasses today!! =)

SWIMMING: the girls are loving their floaties this year at the country club pool. last year they were scared of the floaties. thank goodness they won't hardly take them off this year because i don't have that many hips to hold them on!!

Congrats on the surgery, Love! I hope you & your family have a wonderful holiday & vacation. That water park looks like fun. Emma has those same floaties but I haven't been able to get her to let me put them on her yet. So far we've only been in our little baby pool at home but I hope to take her to the pool soon! I love the new pictures and be sure to check out Chelsea's blog when you get home...I won her June contest! Emma will have a girly skirt too! Well, Emma is waking up so I best run. :o)
