"I'm going to be a flower girl when I grow up."

Charis and Hannah got in a tiff the other day and threatened each other with, "oh yeah? Well, you can't be my flower girl when I get married." "Ok, well then you can't be my flower girl anymore either." I think this is for the best, so I just stayed out of it.

Nathanael will be four months old on July 5th, and we're completely in love with our Jamesy boy. I'm savoring the sweet smell of a newborn, knowing it won't last long.

Charis is improving in her skating skills, while Hannie still doesn't understand why anyone would put on those silly skates. "They make me fall. I will skate in my sandals." 

Bethany's talking more every day. When she hears Nathanael waking up she says, "Baby cry. I get it." And heads upstairs. When she sees him she says, "awwww, Bubberloo." 

We started school on Monday! This is Charis' kindergarten year and Hannah's first year of preschool (both at home). Why do they grow up so fast?! 

Our baby girl will be 5 in 2 weeks!

Not thrilled to be at the skating rink today... Until the hokey pokey came on, that is.

"I hold it." (This is an older pic).

So glam in a plastic bib.
