June

I'll blame it on summer schedule, but I don't seem to be doing as great with blog updates as I do when it isn't so pretty outside! Here are a few pics from the past couple of weeks. Kinsley is crawling, eats anything she can find (no one told her 9 month old babies are still supposed to only really eat strained foods), and loves to be outside! Her favorite is when a dog passes while walking -she practically tries to jump out of my arms to get to the animal. I'm not so much worried about the dog being gentle with her as I am the poor dog's condition after she gets finished "petting" it!

We thought it would be great to help Ella come up with a service project that she could do on her own. So, this summer she has been collecting / and buying coloring books and crayons. Here she is sharing some of her collection with some young kids (who are new refugees to the U.S.) from the Kentucky Refugee Ministry. All smiles for Kinsley! (She had just taken a pretzel from Ella's grip - literally. . . That is the reason for the smile!)

Thanks, Mom, for the dresses! We love them! One of the girls' favorite things is giving kisses and loves to each other. Poor Ella gets pretty sloppy from sissy's kisses!
