Addie wearing her "hat" because Izzy is. She just pushes her bike around instead of riding it. When she does sit on it she actually keeps her feet on the pedals pretty good.
Oh, the "ci-ci." How will we ever let go?
Hanging out by the fire at Gamma and PopPop's,
The new fire pit my dad built,
Great for roasting marsh mellows.
First to arrive at the reception. Watching a movie to pass the time.
Still waiting...
Me and my girls.
Izzy and the Princess, Morgan.

Mark's mom and step-dad.
I love their sober faces.
Enjoying the swings in the back yard on a beautiful night.
This picture says a thousand words...
Sisterly love.
Go Big Red! First spirit day of the year at school.
Wow! That month flew by. At the beginning of August we all went back to Grand Island for Mark's cousin's wedding. Izzy loves to go to weddings because she gets to see and dance with a princess. Morgan sure looked like a beautiful princess. Her wedding gown was the palest of pink and gorgeous. Nothing is really new with the girls. Both growing and playing, dancing, and talking back all the same. We've managed to stay healthy and have a great summer.
My friend Ashley came home from Australia for a few weeks and we managed to get together and have dinner. It was great to see her. I wish there was more time.
Mark is happier than ever because football season started the last day of this month. Gamma and PopPop took the girls to the State Fair in Grand Island and Mark and I got to enjoy the first Husker Game together. The Huskers won, but only by 4 points. Should have been a blow out. Hope the season looks up. While at the fair, Izzy got to ride an elephant and thought it was the coolest thing. She talked about it for days.
We have inherited three new pests (I mean pets...) this month. Izzy's teacher at school was teaching them about the life cycle of a meal worm. The chrysalis of all three have now turned into beetles and she doesn't want to free them. What is a mother to do? Any suggestions are helpful.
On to another month. Hope all is well.
P.S. Izzy had her first sleep over at our house. Why can't I keep her little? I'm not ready for this.
