Happy 2 Months Elizabeth!

Chasing Butterflies

We have a butterfly bush in our yard, and our neighbors have a giant one that is always filled with monarchs. We counted 20 the other day. Sarah Gray and Katherine both have developed a fondness for all sorts of insects, especially butterflies. They love to try and touch their wings, or catch them in the net. I love it because it keeps them entertained for at least an hour. Sarah Gray even got stung the other day by a yellow jacket on the bush, but went right back over to it later in the afternoon to try and catch another butterfly.

Tiny Dancer

On Friday, Sarah Gray finished up a week of ballet class through the Greensboro Ballet. The week's theme was Flowers and Fairies. There was no dress requirement, so she had a fun time picking out different outfits to wear each day. The last day she and her classmates did a little recital of the Sugar Plum Fairy. I don't think ballet is a long term activity for Sarah Gray, but I probably will look into classes this fall. She was so cute during her performance and had a blast the entire week.

Say Cheese!

Elizabeth has been smiling at us for about 2 weeks now, and I finally today got a shot of her. She has lost almost all her hair on top, and is sporting a nice hairline. I cannot believe she is 6 weeks old tomorrow. Time goes by so fast when they are this little. She is still sleeping most of the day and night..we only see her little eyes for about a total of 2 hours each day.

Guess Whos 2!

Baby Katherine's birthday was on June 24th. That weekend we celebrating by having our family and neighbors over for bbq and fixings. We also had a wonderful strawberry and cream cake from Delicious, a bakery in Greensboro. Although it was the hottest day of the year at 98 degrees, all the kids had a great time playing outside on the swing set, in the sandbox, and sprinkler. I have posted a pic of baby Kat at 1 year so you can see how much shes changed. She is talking extremely well (and did I mention non-stop!), and when she is not trying to follow her sister every where, she enjoys playing with her dollhouse and baby dolls. I can't believe is she now 2. I still look at her like she is a little baby, just needing to be held and rocked all the time. She is definitely still a snuggle bunny, and still wakes us up every now and then wanting to be held, but she is so independent and not the little baby she once was!

The Girls

Although its a bit crazy during the days, we are slowly adjusting to having 3. It seems like everyone is on a different schedule whether its sleeping, eating, or playing, and I don't sit down all day, but I know this time goes by so fast. Scott and I are enjoying having a little one up with us watching late night tv again...she is such a good baby, we are truly blessed with another easy-going baby. I am working on announcements tonight..I found the sweetest website SarahandAbraham and I am so excited to send them out. I may end up ordering some more fun stuff!

So in love!

Our little Elizabeth James is just a angel. We are so very blessed with this sleepy head. She has not made a peep since she was born, and we just can't get enough of her sweet face. Sarah Gray wants to hold her every minute she can..and Katherine (although not very gently) just covers her with kisses. We thank God for her, and are so truly blessed with 3 little girls.
