Let the camping begin!

We are so excited to have an opportunity to spend time with our kids without daily distractions. Maybe one day when our girls are older they will still love to camp with us, maybe not......but in the meantime we will build memories and enjoy this time!!

The girls trying out Sophia's new sleeping bag!

S'mores! YUMMM!!! That's what most of us think....Sophia's reaction "Yuck!" "Ewww....Can I have a different treat?" Maybe one day she will change her mind! Mommy & Nora lounging in the camper before bed!

Sophia getting ready for bed!

This was the calm before the storm. Patrick and I ended up fighting off a raccoon that stole a grahm cracker (we were more than happy to eat S'mores!) and wouldn't leave us alone. That sneaky little monster kept coming up to our bin, chairs, picnic table....you name she was not afraid!

"mmmmm ..... donuts!"

Enjoying the outdoors

There it is.....our camper!

A sleepover!!

(Why can I NEVER get these in the order I want them!?!?!?!) We recently had Anna stay the night as part of her birthday present! Sophia was so excited to have her "cousin & friend" stay the night. Sophia & Anna had a great time! We started the sleep over with 'mani-pedi's', dress up & wrapped it up with a trip to Marcy's Clayground to paint pottery.

Check out Anna's skirt! I was dying!!!!!!!

Waiting for the polish to dry......

Lookin' good!!

NORA :)

What a fun little girl! How did this happen.....she's almost 9 months old! She's such a little cutie! The second time around, we know what milestones are coming so it's fun to watch them happen and be so excited with her when she does something new! She's trying hard to crawl AND stand up! She's SOOOOO close to both :)
