Beach trip for Mommy and Daddy

We had a great time on our couples trip to the beach!

It was the most relaxing vacation we can remember taking!

We went with 3 other couples from our Sunday School Class:

2 from Shreveport and 1 from Colorado Springs.

We had a blast just hanging out and having uninterrupted

conversations, sleeping in, eating out with no high chairs,

and staying up late playing games!

Of course we missed Emma and were excited to get back

home to see her!

Oodles of fun

This summer has really gone fast! I can't believe it's already August!

It has been the hottest summer too!

We have tried to stay cool and do inside activities and eat lots

of popcicles and Icees!

Emma is getting so big! She is definitely a 2 year old!

She has a mind of her own and lets you know exactly

what she wants, when she wants it!

We are progressing in potty training and just

this week have celebrated her accomplishments

with some new cotton training panties!

She did great for two whole days, including nap time, with

no accidents, but hit a little bump on day three.

Practice, practice, practice!

One of my current projects is getting Emma's big girl room ready.

Instead of doing a new nursery for Baby Girl 2 (no name yet), we've

decided to give her Emma's baby room and move

Emma to a big girl room! I'll post when we get it done, hopefully this month!
