Soph's field trip

Soph's preschool class took a field trip to the local health center. They did a Zumba class and yoga. They had so much fun, and better yet, it wore them out! A group of 4 year olds dancing the "robot" to "Who Let The Dogs Out" was HILARIOUS!

Poppy and the "Magic Carpet"

Emma decided to whip up some of her own recipes the other day. She was making "fruit soup" which had cut up fruit, Mio drink mix, strawberry syrup and a dash of blueberry yogurt. I suggested freezing in the popsicle molds. She said that was a great idea and she and Soph ate them all up like they were the best popsicles ever!
That afternoon, Soph and I were also treated to a carrot that had been dipped in caramel sauce and then "powdered" in salt! Emma loved it and following suit, Soph agreed that it tasted awesome. Yummy, huh?!

Emma made dinner, too which was cut up baby carrots in salted and peppered water with a dash of ketchup. Tim asked to heat his up a bit in the microwave before he tried it. Daddy said it was delicious, of course. :)

Cousins...

This is what I see most of the day.

What beautiful brides!

Emma and Soph took their roles very seriously.

Soph's half birthday. Since she's a summer birthday, she got to celebrate at preschool on her half birthday. It was a big day for her. She had a little party at preschool and then that evening we had cupcakes and sang again for her.

Gratitude...

I wanted to thank all of our family and friends for the support and love you've shown us over the last few weeks. It's meant a great deal to us! This is such a hard thing to go through and it sure helps to know we have such loving family and friends to lean on. So, from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you.

Love,

Steph
