It's so fun to watch these girls together. Don't they
look like trouble?

Fun Sundays
Feeding the ducks after church has become part of our Sunday routine. Kensie gets super excited and starts chattering as soon as she sees them. I think she's saying "duck!"
Sunday is my new favorite day of the week. I love going to church with the family and then spending the rest of the day together.
Kensie was eating more bread than she was giving to the ducks!

This little one does not like riding in the car.
Having some fun at Cabela's.

Rockport Trip
I had been wanting to take the kids to the beach all summer, so we finally went about a week ago. I was excited, but things on this trip didn't turn out so well. It was extremely windy, so anytime somebody moved sand flew everywhere. Poor Kensie got a whole face full of sand from her brother. It was even stuck to her eyelashes!
It was just about time to leave - Jeff and Connor were coming in from the water and Connor took off running through seaweed. He stopped and started screaming. By the time Jeff got him to us up on the shore his feet were covered with blood! We're not sure what he stepped on- maybe a rock or shell? We got it wrapped up and headed to Victoria to get stitches. That was the longest ride of my life. Thank goodness Connor fell asleep after a little while. This may have been more traumatic for me than him. When he got the stitches they wrapped him up in a sheet with his arms down so he couldn't move and he kept saying "Why, why!" It is the most awful feeling to not be able to help your child when they are hurting. I would have rather had it happen to me a thousand times instead of to him. I'm so glad my mom decided to come with us to the beach that day. She says she's not good in those kinds of situations, but it made me feel better to have her there! Connor is doing better and should get the stitches out on Thursday. He's not walking on it, but that doesn't stop him from playing around - sometimes a little too ruff. He's so ready to be able to swim again and go to the playground, but he has been enjoying some special treatment and get well gifts!
Back at Mimi and Poppa's after getting stitches.
Ouch!

It's hard to get him to sit still! Here he is playing with Flarp! noise putty. It provides hours of entertainment!
