Caught her!

It got really quiet, really fast a few nights ago at bedtime. It was a school night, and Hannah was fast asleep. When I went to check on the girls before heading to bed, I found Chloe asleep on the floor of their bedroom, surrounded by pillows and blankets---the remnants of a tent she built herself---when she was supposed to be in bed sleeping! Hard to see in the pic's---guess you just had to be there...she even had walls (pillows) standing up. Not bad for a 2-year old.

First Day of School...for Chloe!

In September, Chloe began her second year of Mother's Day Out at our church. Two days a week, she goes to church for a few hours to play, eat, learn letters and numbers, and nap.
Here she is posing with her nap mat and "pack-pack." :-)
She's so excited to be going to "school" like sissy!

August Camping Trip!

At the end of August, we celebrated Uncle Mike's 30th birthday with an overnight camp-out at Tyler State Park (roughly half-way between Dallas and Monroe).

We cooked all of our food (hotdogs here) over the campfire!

And we rented a paddle boat and canoe. Very fun!
Hannah even paddled the canoe around the lake with Uncle Mike.
We had to hang onto Chloe (literally)---her favorite thing to do on the paddle boat
was to sit on the VERY edge of the back platform and put her
barefeet in the water---We almost lost her once...(that's what life jackets are for!)

The girls (and grandma) had a blast on the playground!

What a fun weekend. It made me realize how much I miss camping. Thankfully, the girls are now big enough for us to be able to camp more often---and enjoy it!
