It's been so long . . .

So now we have to play catch up . . .

I had Heather Harris watch Summer for me one day while I took Claire to a doctor's appointment. When I got home, Heather had double french braided Summer's hair! I couldn't believe it! Since then, I've tried and tried, but her hair is so fine and I still can't do it. Way to go Heather!
Partners in Crime--Summer opens it and holds the door open while Claire jets across the room to get there too. Then they browse. For what? I have no idea.

Last weekend while Katelyn and Tanner visited, we went to a friend's cabin. Kate and Tanner rode the canoe down the river from where the cabin was to where we were swimming.
The girls really enjoyed playing in the sand. I don't know where this little smirk came from, but sometimes she pulls it when she's trying not to smile, but she's just too happy to not.




And sweet little Claire loved the sand too! We actually didn't have a suit her size, so this is Summer's other 18 month suit that we tied up in the back for Claire. It worked great.


Also while Kate and Tanner where here, we toured a bit of Manito Park. Here's Claire having a good time.
And Summer chowing down on a brick of cheese. She pulled it out of the fridge and began taking bites. I'm sure Claire's mouth is just watering.
Cute closeup of Summer.
I've seen the underwear as a hat before--she can get it on there pretty good--but this is the first time she got one of the leg holes to surround her face. I thought it was hilarious. Claire just woke up, and I'm sure she's just getting a kick out of Summer's space-ship face mask.
A few weekends ago, Andy Day and Rhett planned a surprise getaway to Sandpoint, Idaho. They were able to cheaply reserve two hotel rooms, right next to each other, and we stayed the night there. We had dinner at this "Family Restaurant" where the girls played lots of games.

We had a fun time. Especially because we put the kids to bed in one room, turned on the baby monitor, and then stayed up super-late playing games in the other room. We all had a great time.
