We are bringing summer to a close. Elise starts pre-school on Tuesday and is oh, so excited. Her teacher came over to meet her this week. Elise was very enthusiastic and impressed her teacher with her ability to write her name. One last summer hurrah - the State Fair! The girls all loved seeing, petting and feeding the animals. The adults all loved the food! Here are just a few pictures from the evening. Ar

Third and finally
Three birthday parties for a one-year-old - CRAZY! Miss Lilah June is totally worth it, though. We hosted a family gathering on Lilah's actual birthday. It was wonderful to spend her day with the people we love so much, and who love Lilah dearly. Wes made a delicious dinner, and Lilah enjoyed more cake. I think she was expecting some cake today, given it has been a regular occurance this week.
We wrapped up the weekend with Lilah's baby dedication at church on Sunday. It was wonderful to have both sets of Lilah's grandparents present for the occasion. We feel very blesed that God has given us two beautiful girls to raise, and we wanted the opportunity to express to our intention to raise Lilah to know and love Jesus Christ, and to also ask fellow believers to help us in this endeavor.
What a great weekend!

Birhtday Round 2: Playgroup Party
Lilah's birthday celebration continued with a party with her playgroup friends. It was a garden-themed gathering - the kids 'grew flowers' and 'fished.' Kids and mommies all seemed to enjoy the celebration! The princesses made an appearance at the end of the party. Thanks to Wes for braving play group to take pictures.
