What Haven does in her spare time...

Haven HAS to wear her tu-tu while listening to music so she can dance in her room. She has this notion that she can't dance without wearing some form of skirt. It is very cute to watch... even harder to catch on camera.

Family Fun Sunday

On Sunday, my in-laws' church had a big picnic after the service. We enjoyed LOTS of fun activities: jumping gym, cotton candy, snow cones, horse back rides, and lots of good food! It was a fun day to close the summer month of August. Is summer over already?!

In the life of Parker...

Parker is definitely NOT like her sister. She is determined, tough, picky, loves to cuddle, and is into EVERYTHING! We had to safety proof our house a second time this past weekend after she walked over to me with the Drain-O in her hand! And, sadly this past Friday she got on her tip-toes, found the curling iron cord on top of the bathroom counter top and proceeded to pull the cord until the very hot curling iron fell on her arm. This was very traumatic for me (and for her too, I suppose). We went to the doctor, got some special antibiotic cream for burns and are now praying this nasty burn will heal quickly and there won't be a bad scar. She was also stung by a bee on Sunday and today fell backwards into the kiddie pool, scraping her chin and biting her tongue. I am praying that God will protect this tough girl until she can develop more common sense and agility! In the meantime, I am doing the best I can.

She also will ONLY eat the following foods: strawberries, yogurt, mandarin oranges, Gerber raviolis, chicken nuggets, apple sauce, mac-n-cheese, grapes (50% of the time), bananas (50%). That's it. Anything the color green she automatically starts shaking her head, no. Unbelievable. I am still trying to get other foods down that hatch! Good thing she also likes her gummy vitamins.
