family fun

Grandma Diana, Aunt Dawn and her three girls came for a visit last week. We all had such a wonderful time together! We went swimming, went on walks, did some serious cooking, and enjoyed quality time together. Julia and Jocelyn just loved having them around (and are missing them already). The girls were full of smiles and Abigail was the best at making them giggle. :) We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family.

happy days

not to be outdone...

Julia decided to show her sister up today by rolling from her back to her tummy. Let the competition begin!

Jocelyn rolled over!!

Yup, Jocelyn finally took the plunge. She has been rolling from side to side for months...actually she hardly ever stops moving. Well, last night she decided to surprise her parents and make the roll. When we started cheering she just looked at us like "What's the big deal...of course I could do it?" :) We constantly find her on the opposite end or sideways in her crib. They never cease to amaze us!

Five months old!

The girls are five months old already. I guess time does fly when you're having fun (and not sleeping). :) We celebrated five months with a little taste of cereal. They loved it, although I'm sure as much ended up on their faces as it did in their tummies. They are enjoying the exersaucer and jumper (thanks Susan!) and becoming more interactive every day. Jocelyn giggles every time she spins the toys and Julia loves to jump. Tim managed to teach Julia to "motorboat" with her lips...and she hasn't stopped doing it since. So funny! Life is good.

filled with wonder...

If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.-- Vincent van Gogh

Wishing everyone a fantastic 4th of July!
