Alli has reached a new milestone...

Alli can tie her shoelaces!


Ruby is still silly.  Ruby will be turning four this weekend!


June has become quite attached to this baby doll.  Don't even think about taking it from her.  She takes good care of "Baby"... she feeds her and wraps her up for a nap and makes her clap her hands. 
So cute.


The girls have a favorite spot to walk to... Ruby takes her cat on a leash.  June has Baby.  And the bowls?  Those are for the blackberries we are about to pick.  Our neighborhood has a pond with ducks, geese and lots of frogs... and there are berries growing near the pond.  The girls love berry-picking and frog-spotting.  They bring bowls, but I don't know if they have ever put any berries in them... they tend to go straight into their mouths.

This week, we let the girls stay up until the stars came out.  Then we laid on a blanket in the yard and starred at the stars.  What a treat to see stars from our own yard!  This is something that we couldn't do in Chicago.

I spent three days last week at Youth Conference.  I took lots of pictures and put together a slide show.  Being with the youth was so much fun!  And a little bit exhausting.
