Aurora LOVES to draw, paint, and color. The other day I found her discovering a great new way to do so! She actually does pretty well coloring with her toes and she has so much fun doing it.
A few weeks ago Mabel tried out some rice cereal. Of course Rora had to help, she loves helping her little sister! Mabel was great at opening her mouth but didn't care too much for swallowing the cereal. That's just fine with mommy though, she is growing up too fast.
Rora turned 2 years old today! I can't believe how grown-up she is getting. Some of her favorite things to do are playing with her little sister, drawing, stickers, "reading" books and being read to, running in the sprinklers (it's Hot), singing songs (especially "twinkle twinkle little star", "monkeys jumping on the bed", and "5 little monkeys swing in a tree"), dancing, playing dress-up princess, giving hugs and kisses, and having fun with her family. Some of her favorite things to eat are peanut butter with carrots or apples, peanut butter sandwiches, grapes, fruit snacks, Popsicles, spaghetti, and okra from Grandma and Papa's garden. Aurora is such a beautiful girl inside and out and we love her so much; it is hard to let her grow up but it is even more exciting to see the wonderful person she is becoming and watch her learn and grow each day!
I just realized that I never posted any pictures of Mabel's Blessing Day. So here is our sweet little princess on her special day.
We love Mabel's smile. She is such a happy baby!
Aurora had fun with swimming lessons a few weeks ago.
Rora is a little artist. She loves to draw hearts, stars, circles, balloons, apples, and lots more. The above picture is one of her latest balloons and the below picture is an apple!

Here are two of Aurora's best friends. The brown one's name is Jakes; Rora loves to sing "Monkeys jumping on the bed" and playing "ring around the rosies" with them.
Erik and I met in high school, were married in June 2005 and now have two beautiful daughters, Aurora and Mabel, and our handsome son, Oliver; they are the light of our lives!
