Introducing......

Emma Joyce Reed

My brother and his wife just welcomed their first baby today! A healthy little girl and, I must say, she is oh so cute!!! It was sheer torture having to look at her thru the plexiglass of the nursery! I simply couldn't wait to get my hands on her. And I finally did. I see lots of snuggling and canoodling with this little angel.

A marshmallow thief

My girls LOVE sugar and apparently I am not supplying enough to suffice their needs. Case in point; I was vacuuming in Hanna's room today and found a half eaten bag of mini marshmallows wedged between her

clothes hamper and the wall.

This sheds some light on why she hasn't been hungry at breakfast.

Some light summer reading

We went to the library to beat the heat and left with WAY too many books. Hanna & Haley couldn't wait to get home to read them. Haley is actually "reading" books from home and Hanna is the one that loves to look thru all the library books. We've been checking out books related to the season so we could understand all these mosquitos & cicada's that have blessed us with their presence!
