Happy 4th!

Hope y'all had a fabulous 4th!  (Hey, I can enjoy my southern-ness for just a little bit longer!)

We spent our 4th like we do every other holiday!...sick.  Lydia had started a runny nose on Thursday; although I think hers was mostly teething since that was all she ever got...besides being cranky.  Emma however woke up in the middle of the night Friday morning with a fever.  Poor kid.  Luckily with modern medicine and an amazing mother she woke up (later) fever free, and just a little stuffy.  So being the excellent parents that we are, we took them to the parade.  It was kinda lame.  Partly because I left the camera sitting on the table at home.  It started out great...colonial and all...it was REALLY cool.  Then it just got political...as in a random dance team after 3 or 4 "floats" of people saying "vote for me!"  So it ended up being really lame.

(Thanks Grandma for the outfits!)

 Don't you just love her bow!  (found it at Hobby Lobby on clearance like 2 years ago!)

 Silly camera flash!

Isn't he so cute! :)

Later that day we decided to go to the park...since that is my girls' favorite place in the world...(only closely followed by the bathtub.)  As you can see on their faces...!

Happy 4th!

10 months

My baby is 2 months away from being a year old!  Excuse my while I shed a few tears.  It almost makes me want another baby...ALMOST.  For now I think I'll enjoy sleeping through the night and other such luxuries.
Anywhoo...10 months.  What's new with Lydia?  She's CRAZY!  I think I've said this before, but I thought Emma was a hard kid...she is nothing compared to Lydia.  Lydia is a happier baby though...so that's nice.  It makes up for the constant over-turned garbage cans with trash spread all over the floor, and the toilet paper constantly being un-rolled, and the fights over a simple afternoon nap.  Yup.  At least she's happy.

 Guess the flash was a little much.

Thanks Grandma for the cute dress!

Emma didn't want to be left out! ;)

Typical Lydia face

And for your enjoyment, this is one of her favorite things to do.
