Summer! It's hard to believe that it's over already again. This past weekend we celebrated the girls turning 2 yrs old. It was a fun day! Mom & Dad were here for the last two weeks and then my Gramma flew in town to help celebrate the birthday! Enjoy the pictures!

Sidney and Avery in their birthday outfits Gramma Joseph bought for them (along with several other cute outfits!)
Grandma Shinabery sent a wonderful package of presents for the girls to open. They got purses filled with books & chocolate - now, what could be better?

We tried to take a picture of all the kids that evening, but it was late and past several bedtimes!

Granny with Sidney!
This summer I took the girls to an apple orchard with Katri & Clint. That is their nephew, Charlie, in the middle. This picture is us on our hayride.

Sidney pressed her forehead up against the fire place!

Katri & I flew the girls home to Ohio for a short trip. Grandma Shinabery was nice enough to come over one night and babysit the girls. They got to read books and eat popcorn! We also got to visit with my cousin's Chas & Nicki. Nicki was home with her husband and new baby, Dane!


We also got to spend some time with Michelle, Rick & Nick down in Dayton, OH. Here is Nick with Sid & Avery!
Aunt Michelle with Avery & Sid.

Here we are back in August with my parent's in Pompano Beach, FL. The girl's first vacation outside of Ohio. It was a great two weeks of swimming in the ocean, playing in the sand & visiting with Granny & Grampy! We had so much fun!

Avery cleaning up after dinner out! That is a napkin wrapped around her!
