Summer 2011

Our summer is going great so far. The girls are a lot of fun and are growing quick. We have been playing a lot in the backyard and going on day or weekend trips whenever we can. We have made a couple of trips to Cape Cod to the beach house. We made it to Vermont and got to see the Richmond parade and fireworks. Here is Shelby and Madelyn hanging out together at home:



Shelby becoming a little ham:

Madelyn is eating up a storm now. Her favorite so far is probably sweet potatoes.


We took a little day trip to Charmingfare Farm in Candia, NH. It is part farm part zoo. Shelby loved it. It was quiet the day we went which was nice. We got to go right in with the goats. Here is Shelby playing with the goats. She kept running a loop around the goats and then circling back to gently pat a goat that was lying down. She was so sweet to the resting goat.








Madelyn is zooming around in her walker now. It is funny to watch although she is getting into everything now. She is opening drawers, knocking over the trash, chasing Shelby and running over all our feet. Ouch! I don't think Shelby is crazy about this new development! Madelyn has run her feet over, chased her down for toys and we even found her cornering Shelby and pulling her hair. Madelyn is a little toughie. Here is Shelby trying to protect her toys and Madelyn circling her:



Here is Madelyn racing around in her walker:



Our newest addition to the family-fish! We have a few different types of fish although they are starting to dwindle. Shelby likes watching them.




Madelyn is getting talkative too. Here she is having a a talk with me while she relaxes in her swing:
