Random musings

What a week we've had!  It's the first week of summer break for V and it's been really fun having her home.  I forgot what a huge help she is with H and I know she loves having her big sister home all the time!

V is on a swim team and H got in her swim bag

and put on her cap and goggles.  Too cute!

She keeps us laughing!

V is making her famous chocolate chip

cookies for her teachers gifts.

She loves to drive with daddy

H wanted us to sit in her "car" and

she "drove" us around.  :)

She also told us all where to sit!

What a helper H was while we

finished our landscaping!

It was also almost 100 degrees and poor little

H was so hot. So I gave her a squirt bottle

to keep her cool and she decided everything

needed a little spraying.  :)

She went through that whole water

bottle in less than 10 minutes.  She was

one busy girl!!

So pretty.

After working outside all afternoon

we decided to go out for frozen yogurt

at 3 Flamingos. 

I think she enjoyed her yogurt!

Trying to stay cool on a very hot day.

V decided to put the chairs on the lawn

and sit in the sprinkler. 

This morning after my early run I sat out on the

deck and had breakfast.  The Lord blessed me

with a beautiful sunrise.

V is the best big sister ever!!

She decided her and H were going

to make peanut butter cookies together.

She was so helpful and so patient with H.

I am so incredibly blessed!

Isn't this just the cutest pic ever????
