Check up time!

The girls had their check ups today with Uncle Scott. All healthy and ready for another year and, whew-no shots! Emma was in the 25% for height and weight, very consistent for her. Soph was 25% for ht, but 50% for weight. She has really gained some muscle in her Hot Shots gymnastics class. She is solid and strong! Lily Bean is in the 10th % for both. I think she tries to make herself mighty to make up for the tiny!

Missing Cat

We realized Saturday evening that we hadn't seen Max all day. We looked all around our house, the neighbors' houses,  in the rain, all through the house, too, three times! We were getting ready to put out posters we had made on Sunday morning when our neighbor texted me asking if our cat was missing. He was hanging out on their porch. It had stormed three times during the time he was out, so I think he got spooked and wouldn't leave their porch. The girls were pretty happy to see him, especially Lily. She had been ready to lead a search party in the "deep dark woods" flashlight ready. I was happy to see him, too...for a few seconds...and then I was mad at him for being a stupid cat to sneak outside and not come when we called him!

Back to school!

I can't believe summer is over and we're back to school! I have to say I was ready, though! Whew, it's been a rough few last weeks around here. If there was a competition on sister rivalry, they would bring home gold medals!
This one and I made our second annual Costco run on the girls' first day back. 
 We got a cart full of goods and a froyo to celebrate!

Day 15

Out little adventure girl had a blast riding this at her friend's birthday party. She may have to put one on her birthday wish list! 

Day 14

Tim didn't see what I was wearing when I headed out for errands Saturday morning. I got back, we headed to the zoo, and then realized that we were dressed alike. Oh well, great minds think alike, right?!

Day 13

I've been wanting to get my nails done all summer and had a chance to go today. The girls got theirs polished, too. Now I'm sitting outside on my swing with a new Real Simple. 
The girls say "fairy Gary" , aka Daddy, cleans up the dog poo in our yard. Haha!

Day 12

These two finally for to hang out for a while. Who knows what they're chatting about. 

Day 11

We walked around IU and took a photo of them in the spot where Tim proposed! 

Day 11

This one is such a confident kid. I hope she always feels that way. 

Day 10

They all felt like big shots after hiking this rugged trail!

Day 9

We hiked at McCormicks Creek State Park, stayed the night at the Canyon Inn. These girls were troopers!

100 Happy Days, Day 7


The summer fun caught up with them riding home from Target. I had 25 minutes of absolute peace and quiet in the car! 

100 Happy Days, Day 6

Nana helped find a perfect little desk and chair for Soph. She has it all organized and likes to pretend it's her own doctor's office. 

100 Happy Days, Day 5

We are so thankful that this little one is staying in her room all night now that she's bunking in with Sophie!

Tank was so happy to swim today, but he needed some pain medicine when we got home. He's feeling his dog years tonight.
