I always have the best of intentions to keep this blog updated. I just usually find myself with too little time. That and by time I check out everyone
else's blogs that I follow, it's time for me to get to bed. It has been a busy few months. In June we went to Milwaukee for our China sisters reunion. It was great to see all the families again. Eleven of the twelve families were able to make it. We are hoping to meet up with the family that couldn't make it in October when we head to TN and KY. The girls had a blast playing with each other and it was so nice to chat with the other parents. It really makes me wish that everyone lived closer. We are already looking forward to next years reunion.
Emily and Abby continue to go to school 2 days a week. They will be starting a Christian
pre-school in Sept. We are looking forward to them learning Bible songs and stories...they enjoy what they learn in Sunday School now so it should be a nice addition.
It's hard to believe that the summer is half over. I don't know where time goes! We haven't done much of anything too exciting after the reunion but we are hoping to fill up some time real soon. We have plans to go down the shore with family (the girls love playing with their "boys") so that should be a blast again. We also hope to go up to NY state for some fun in the country. The girls had a ball when we did that last year so we're looking forward to another grand adventure. (
Smores' anyone...) That will bring us through the end of summer. We're hoping to squeeze in a lot of fun this fall and plan on making it a priority. Any suggestions for fun things are welcome. What's you're favorite thing to do with your kids? We hope to maybe hit Hershey Park and a zoo or two. Apple and pumpkin picking. We'll see how we make out.
I'll post some pictures a little later. Again, I'm going to try and blog more often (I know...you've read that here before) I guess I don't always feel motivated because there aren't that may of you out there that follow but for those of you that do...THANKS!!! Please drop me a comment to let me know you were here. I would love to check out your blog if I don't follow yours already.
Take care and good night from NJ.
Emily and mommy at Navy Pier in Chicago
We got the girls these ballerina dresses at Carters and they love to spin
and twirl in them. Probably the best thing we've gotten
them in a while.
4th of July (I thought this was a very appropriate shirt for Emily
as she wants to do everything herself)
Emily and Abby on the 4th
How sweet is that!! They were watching the fish
at Shedd's Acquarium in Chicago
Abby and Wendy in Chicago
Emily on the giant Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier
(I don't think I have ever been so nervous,
Emily is always curious and I was so nervous
she was going to try and open the door or lean out.
I couldn't wait for the ride to end!)

Emily and Sonja petting a goat at the zoo.
Emily finally got up the nerve to pet one...
at first she wouldn't have anything to do with them.
