I have just started using slideshows on my blog. I think they are really fun and to be honest just proud I figured it out!
BUT...some people's computers must not be fast enough to even view them.
Please leave a comment telling me if you can see them on yours....

Wonderful Summer Memories!
Jessi, my really good friend of many many years, moved back to our neck of the woods this spring, after four years of living quite a distance away! We're all so happy to be near each other again - for our own and our girls' friendship. This summer we did a lot of fun things together. We took the big girls to the zoo, then the little girls to the zoo (she has a 4 year old and a 2 year old). We took the big girls to the Children's Museum, and then the little girls to the Children's Museum. The big girls did VBS, and the little girls played with us at home. There was also the here and there get togethers and b-day parties! This photoshoot was from one afternoon after VBS. Paivi and Daphne had the best time riding Bucky - Mike and Pam's tamest horses:).
Jessi has never seen these photos... Jes, here's to us and our little girls and the memories we made!

Movie Date
Today Maisie went to school, Ruby took a long am nap and Daphne and I watched a movie we rented just for today - just for her and me...Nim's Island!
I tell ya...just as much as I mourn the fact that the girls continue growing up, I am loving them getting more able too. We both seriously enjoyed this movie together and the special breakfast smoothies I made just for the occasion. What made them breakfast smoothies you may be wondering...well, we drank them at breakfast time - duh!
You have got to rent this movie! It is so so cute and completely clean. Daphne, age 5 (in days) was really into it. I did have to stop and explain a few times. Even if your kids are too young to be enthralled yet with real people movies - - you will love it!

Olympic Injuries
My girls were both born daredevils in many ways. They really didn't need Olympic trained athletes to urge them on to a new level of stunts. But since they have been watching all the events with me, we have had some accidents around here recently. Here's a picture of Daphne's bruise, afflicted to herself when she jumped off the very high headboard of my bed and scraped the post as she sailed through the air! This is one thing that will come to mind when I remember the 2008 Beijing Games...How will you remember them?
