Staying In

That's right, we're going to stay put and watch the edge of the hurricane come on through.  We did pack up and put away everything from the back yard, and I think both Panther and CJ thought it might mean we were moving...not yet, soon enough.  They did move the planes out to New Mexico.

We said a final good bye to some friends today, as they headed to AZ.  CJ was upset that we didn't have tickets and couldn't go into the airport as well.  They have had even more of a whirl wind 2yrs than we have, so hopefully AZ is a good fit and one that lasts a while.

We have begun putting the girls to bed at the same time.  I had been hesitant since they share a room.  I had visions of crib climbing, dress up fashion shows, and hours of "girl talk".  However, they both have done well.  I hear them for a few minutes, but it doesn't take them long to go to sleep and both are going to bed easier.  It also gives me an hour head start on my evening chores, and I am getting to bed early and that is much needed as well.

Tomorrow the girls have a doctor appointment, early in the AM so either just as Dolly makes landfall or just before it does.  CJ also has gymnastics, if the rain isn't too bad.  Otherwise, we'll be pulling out the games, play doh, and glitter to pass the storm on by.

Just normal everyday stuff

Nothing too exciting going on around here.  Gymnastics, swim lessons, the pool, keeping cool and of course arts and crafts.  Eric rocked his last night flight on Tuesday and followed that up with a perfect score on his exam on Wed.

My little fashion diva...loves her accessories and thought she needed some black marker lip stick to finish her look, goes well don't ya think?

Painting...oh what fun! Yes that would be a touch of orange lip paint.

CJ is all about mixing the colors to discover the new color.

Caught, being sweet with each other.  They really are best friends.

Waiting, with love and all the time in the world, for her sister.

Great Grandma to CJ "You go girl"

CJ, puzzled "Where should I go?"


Driving with Grandpa, from the back seat "It's not sunny today. It is cloudy and raining. That is okay, we need the rain."
Grandpa, too stunned for words to reply.

Weekend

I hope you all had a great and safe 4th of July.  We had company and had a good time and the rain held off for the fireworks!  It was "cooler" only mid to high 80's with cloud cover and a breeze.  We needed the rain and we still got to do fun stuff.  Pictures are the best.
