Butterfly Head

Reagan had a butterfly land right on her head at her school picnic day at Good Shepherd today!  She raised butterflies in her classroom and her teacher released them today...I guess this one was particularly attached to Reagan and didn't' want to say goodbye! 

A Weekend of Festivals

The end of summer is near, and summer fun is coming to an end.  This weekend we went to two fairs.  The first was the St. Sylvester fair, which we have been attending every year for a few years now.  Jocelyn danced at the fair for her dance school.  It had been a long break from practicing her steps, but she did a great job! 

 

 

Then we attended Whitehall Community Day, which was also a lot of fun.  The hit of this fair was that the girls brought their stuffed animals and got to have them checked out by characters from one of their favorite shows, Doc McStuffins!

College Reunion

Dara was in town and we took the opportunity to get together with the entire college clan!  I can't believe college was 10 years ago! It was a fun night and so nice to see each other!

Irrationality at 5-years-old

I feel kind of guilty that I took a picture of Jocelyn during a tantrum, but this little face is just too cute to forget.

One day at the park, Jocelyn became very upset that a little boy had joined in on a game of hide-and-seek she was playing with Reagan and another friend.  She came to me crying because she didn't want the little boy to play with them.  Why?  Because it would mean that she would have to wait longer for a turn to be the seeker.  There was no helping her this day! 

Dewey Beach 2013

What an awesome vacation we had this year in Dewey Beach, DE!  The girls are at a great age to travel with.  This was definitely our best year since having the girls as a part of our family!  Both girls enjoyed the sand and water...Jocelyn more so the sand than water.

 

Swimming Lessons

Swimming lessons went well for the girls this year.  It was Reagan's first year and she wasn't scared at all.  It was Jocelyn's second year, and she was still afraid of water on her face/eyes.  It took the entire 2 weeks for her to work up the courage to go under the water, but she was brave and finally did it!
