Fun with Mimi

I don't have anything too exciting to report from the last few weeks, we've been battling a couple of colds/viruses that have kept us pretty homebound, but finally the girls seem to be feeling back to their usual happy selves. Here is sweet Lucy before Avery's soccer game. 

Avery is doing a bit better with soccer games these days, but still doesn't really "get" it =) How can we expect them to be aggressive and competitive when we've only been preaching sharing and politeness their whole lives?!

My girls just hanging out

 Lucy, who has discovered the stairs, and today she actually made it up one! Oh geez...

Last weekend Dave went up to Ann Arbor to run a race with a couple of dear friends.

The girls and I stayed at home for this one, and Mimi came to play- thank goodness for all of her help!

Mimi taught Lucy all sorts of tricks, here they are saying "bye bye." She also taught Lucy how to splash in the bathtub, thanks a lot! Hmm... reminds me of when she taught Avery that same special trick- see here.

We are sure grateful to have our parents close by and the girls definitely love the special relationship they have with all of their sweet grandparents, we love ya!!
