Here are some pics of the girls from this week for those who have been requesting more photos!



We usually have a dance party in the evenings after supper. Anna Cate loves to pull something out of her dress up box to wear while dancing and this particular night she also brought Caroline a tutu to wear so she could also join in the fun!

A Little R&R at the IOP

Will and I took the girls to the beach last weekend for our first official vacation with just the four of us. Will headed back to work on Sunday and I had planned to come back with him, but we were having so much fun that we decided to stay through the week.

Some of the Bunco girls came down with all of their kiddos on Monday. With 6 adults and 8 children (ages 8 weeks to 3 years), we had a house full! It was so much fun for Anna Cate to have some playmates on the beach and I really enjoyed some fun girl time!

Caroline with her buddy Sarah Kate chillin out by the pool.

Anna Cate is getting braver in the water. She started sticking her head in the water and jumping off of the side of the pool to us this week.

Anna Cate doesn't like the waves in the ocean, but their is a tidal pool on the beach that she loves playing in. The pool had tons of star fish and although she was a little timid of them at first, she finally found the courage to pick one up.

Then Will surprised us by coming back down on Thursday evening for another weekend at the beach.

Another attempt to get a decent family picture. It was too windy and Anna Cate wouldn't sit still long enough to get a good picture.
For those of you who have heard us call Caroline "Fluffy" (or as Anna Cate says, "Pluffy") this is a fantastic example of why. Any time we take her outside, the wind blow her hair straight up on her head and it stays that way until we wash it. Poor little thing!
