There is just no stopping the child. She is so proud of herself too. She goes upstairs and plays all by herself. She has no interest in going down the stairs. We'll see how long it takes before that happens. She is very intested in walking though. She's taken two steps on her own inititive.

Thank You Jesus!

This is what Hans came down to find one morning. Morgan had woken up first and we heard her go downstair. When we heard a chair scoot across the floor Hans went to see what she was up to. Our very capable two year old found a peach that was ripening in a brown paper bag. Then she found the largest knife we have in the drawer. As you can see she was successful at making several cuts. We spent the rest of the day thanking our Lord for protecting her precious fingers. She did not have one cut on her.

Success!

I would say Morgan is officially potty trained. She is strictly in pretty panties during the day, except for naps.

Dress Up!

Dress up is one of my girls' all time favorite things to do. We went garage saling earlier in the summer and found some great treasures. Morgan almost always chooses the slip that she has on. She usually brings it to me and says "dress up on mommy." Which mean "will you help me put this dress on" Sweeties!

I don't get very many pictures of me and my girls and I was so sad to see that this one was blurry. Oh well! This is a typical picture of me with two of my beautiful girls in my arms.

Morgan's Black spots

Is this freaky or what? I'm not one to take my kids to the doctor but when I saw this I took her. He said it was similar to swimmers itch. Both Elizabeth and Morgan got it from playing in our little kiddy pool that had water that had been in there for a few days. Poor Morgan looks even worse today. She woke up with a (red) rash all over her body and face. She's starting to itch too.

Time fly's by

We have recently had so completly unlivable wheather. With humidity around 70% it felt like 100-108 degrees. Due to the fact that our house has no AC we didn't fair well. We are so grateful that the heat wave/humidity wave is over. At least for now.

We have harvested three cucumbers off of our bush cucumber plant and broccolli! This was the first time Elizabeth really got excited about eating broccolli. I love gardening! I'm addicted now. I will want to have a garden every year. Hans and I are already talking about how to design our dream garden. My tomatoes are starting to turn red. Veggies are so much better fresh.
