The Flip!

So my new favorite toy arrived last week - the Flip video camera! It is so incredibly easy to shoot fun little video clips anywhere. I think the picture quality is really good, considering, and the convenience factor makes it easily worth the price. Here's a couple of recent videos - Emma at the bounce house and the girls in the morning, being cute! Enjoy!

Our new pond!

We were so happy to have a new pond put into our backyard! When we had our backyard redone last year, we had a VERY small pond put in as sort of an afterthought. We put some fish in it and found that we really enjoyed it. Well...it got attacked by a raccoon and that was the end of our fish! Then the filter broke, and it just became a real problem. So, we decided to have a real pond put in...and we LOVE it! We have 4 fish so far, but are able to have about 10 in it. We really love our backyard and I've been enjoying all the planting and growing. These are pictures of a couple of my dahlias that I planted when I was pregnant. They are beautiful!

Our not so happy fourth!

We had a crazy 4th of July to say the least...and these pictures show it exactly! Emma had a nasty case of gastroenteritis prior to the 4th, which including a major vomiting session in the new minivan in the midst of being stuck on the Davis Causeway! So not pleasant! Then, little Miss Monkey learned how to climb out of her crib...so not a good thing for a little girl who hates to sleep as it is. So we spent a couple of nightmarish days of trying everything to get Emma to sleep on her mattress on the floor. We finally succumbed to a crib tent. Yes, we have a baby prison. But, we are all sleeping again. And through it all, Abby continued to be little Angel Baby.

So, prior to our crazy week, I had bought little 4th of July outfits for the girls and was so excited to take them to our friend's bbq that day. With all that was going on, we didn't make the bbq. So I dressed the girls up yesterday to try to capture some cute pictures, now that we're all healthy and semi well-rested. Well, as you can see in the pictures, Abby is little Angel Baby...and then there's Emma. Our little free-spirit. Enjoy!
