Sarah's Prayer

I am going to try to film Sarah's prayer tonight. It is so amazingly cute. Here is what she says:

"Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for this day,
Help us to have a good night's rest,
Say these things,
In the name of Jesus Christ,
Amen."

Seriously. She says it with such cute inflection. She speaks so well for being only 21 months.

Trip to the Zoo

Libby walks like Great Grandpa Randall.
Libby and Sarah enjoy a break from running all over the zoo.




All the cousins enjoy the hippo statue.




Great-Grandpa Don Visits

Amidst the chaos of a triple birthday party on Sunday (Sam, Kaj and Libby all have July birthdays) Great-Grandpa Don found some quiet time to read a few stories to Sarah. It was adorable.

Welcome!

Derek's sister is visiting from Virginia right now with her 3 kids. We are so lucky to have such fun cousins to play with! (And aunts and uncles to make things even more fun.) For Sam's birthday we did a tinfoil dinner cookout in our backyard fire place. It was delicious! Do you know the secret to keep your tinfoil dinners from burning?





Fun in the Sun

We have had several amazing days. The girls have been really enjoying them, and so have I!

Libbyisms

It has finally turned into summer. Libby saw her first convertible with the top down the other day. "Mommy," she said, "Look, that car is broken!"
