Greta's First Bites

A Reunion

Today - I met up with my two long-time best friends and their girls. Between the three of us we have 5 girls (with another girls on the way)!!! The picture of Carrie, Steph, and me didn't turn out, but our girls posed sweetly for us. I love the way Emily took charge in helping Anna Grace "pose." What a fun, unforgetable day we had!!!

A Day at Penguin Park

Jill and Claire play with their friends at Penguin Park...I know...we didn't even take a picture of the Penguin...next time.

Jill became brave today and conquered the BIG elephant slide!
Another little girl was having a birthday party here and the lady offered our kids some cupcakes!

Fun with the Dabbs Family

We had Bill and Kym Dabbs over for the evening and also celebrated Elaina's birthday since it was two days before...she turned two! Yummy...brownie dessert and ice-cream!

Caleb, their youngest who's 4 1/2 months old, and Greta are becoming chummy friends. :)
Well, if Greta can hold onto him - he's worth being a buddy.
And...she may want to eat him too!!!

Actually Quoting a Verse This Time!

Girls Quoting Bible Verses

More Fun...at the Playground

Greta "chases" Jill across the bridge.
...and down the tornado slide she goes!
Claire is funny to watch go through this course. She always excitedly runs back to the beginning and keeps it going until we say, "it's time to go home." Jill could hang for a couple seconds!

A Warm Monday

Today was a very, very nice day. I actually took the girls to the park after lunch. Then, when daddy came home we went for a walk through the cemetary near our house. Later, after dinner we drove them up to the elementary school to play on the playground. It was so great getting outdoors and enjoying the warm, fresh air!
Greta loves being outside!
The girls have a tradition now (for the past couple of years) to throw rocks into the creek.
Jill's favorite place to practice riding her "bike" is the cemetary as well. Yes, it may sound morbid, but we actually LOVE going to the cemetary!

And, of course, it wouldn't be a trip in the cemetary without jumping around on the gravestones, right?

New Meeting Place!

Yesterday was our first day in the new meeting place for Summit Springs. We are grateful for the use of this church building as it meets our needs abundantly and above! A Seventh-Day Adventist Church has graciously worked with us to give us our Sunday's here and we look forward to enjoying our services in a "real church."

A Fun Friday!

Taking time out for some magnet puzzles, Jill and Claire love pretending with them.
While babysitting Carly, we tried lining them up to say a few Bible verses.
Then the "pillow parade" began. Before I knew it, the three of them were running around the coffee table with my couch pillows, making Greta happy, by the way.

She found her TOES!!

Lately, Greta has been very curious about her toes wiggling around . She will probably start sucking on them soon, as our others two did as babies!

Party with the Cuz's

Unle Kevin and Aunt Holly hosted a little get-together to watch their vacation to Hawaii and celebrate Uncle Tim's birthday. The kids are always up for a party...and do they party! We also enjoyed seeing a few old family videos from when there was only ONE baby around - Jill.

"Let's sing happy birthday to you..."

The Three Butterflies

These towels were a gift from a few ladies at church when they did a baby shower for Greta! They're monogrammed with love by Judy Brammer so it's fun having their own personal towel. The girls love flittering around like little butterflies after each bath. :)

It's Cereal Time!

Greta had her first "bites" of rice cereal. She was so eager for each bite. We've given it to her a few more times this week and she's getting the hang of it. I think she's watched all of us eat long enough and thinks, "hey, what am I missing out on here."
