Party Animals

Or something like that! We had a busy weekend spend partying as much as we party. Friday night Daddy had a night to meet the rising first graders. LilE watched for a while and then joined in for a game with the parachute. She ran right over and sat next to Daddy, holding on and doing everything just like he instructed. It was several minutes before he realized it was his daughter sitting next to him! She was such a big girl that night. (and I didn't think I would need to take my camera, so I don't have pics of her big girl cuteness).

Saturday afternoon, after nap, we headed to a 2nd grade SS party. It was at the home of one of the 2nd graders, who happens to be the daughter of LilE's SS teacher. It made LilE day to get to go to Miss C's house. And to top it off, it was a pool party!! LilE was so brave and jumped off the diving board and went down the slide all by herself! She also got TWO cupcakes from Miss C. Spoiled? I also love Miss C and am super excited she will be LilE's SS teacher again next year!!

Yes, she is under the water!

LilE and Miss C

Sunday night we had our last small group get together with two other families. Like good Baptists, we ate very well! It has been a great 6+ weeks with this group, not only for the adult fellowship, but also the kids (all 7 of them) played well together. And having two older girls to help keep an eye on LilE made it much more enjoyable for me.

Hey! I'm behind on catching up on the blogs since we've been moving and unpacking and searching for things that we can't find. Anyhoo, love all the entries, especially the photo shoot of lilE and the question if she is vain watching herself in the mirror reading the Bible. I say, no way! Ha! I agree with the other comments.. she's just practicing so she can be a great teacher/leader some day!! Ha!!

And, Stone has become quite the "fish" like lilE too, as our time spent in the hotel lent plenty of time in the water. He has become pretty fearless jumping in, being thrown in by me, going under the water and even enjoying the hot tub!

Aww, I love the pictures! She looks like she is having a blast! So, I'm now a blogger. Haha! Fun times. Not sure how much I will keep up with it, but I will try. I enjoyed setting it all up! =) Thanks for your help!
