Summer Part 1 - Park

We went to St.Vital park with some friends in late June to have a bonfire supper. We roasted wieners and marshmallows and the kids played. What a special time with great friends.

The "little girls" preferred playing on the play structure,

while the boys and Jayme preferred playing with the fire...

Summer - Part 2: Earings

Colie was so excited to finally get her ears pierced. She has been asking for quite a while so we decided to take the plunge. We asked Jayme if she wanted in on the action, and after many talks and some research, she decided she wanted to as well. I was so excited to get both girls done together. So while Brady had a special breakfast out with Papa, I took the girls to the mall. We went to Claire's where there were 2 trained staff available to pierce their 2 ears at once. Jayme went first and did great, she was nervous and focused, and glad when it was over. One small tear pooled out of her eye and it was over. She picked diamonds for her studs. Colie went next, she wasn't nervous at all, she hopped up on the chair, didn't even want to hold my hand while she had it done. She was all smiles until they finally did the deed... then she cried, but only until they showed her herself in the mirror and she realized how beautiful she looked with the sparkly pink diamond flowers and then she was all smiles again. I was so proud of them and they were so diligent with letting me clean them. Such pretty girls :)
