Just me & the girls, taking a break on the porch on an over-100 degree day. Taken with my cell phone.

Happy Girls

Not only has Anna not worn diapers since the week of the 19th ('cept pull-ups to bed & church), but she hasn't had an accident for a few days now. Yay for her!! Plus, her teacher said she was a very good girl in Sunday School today. (She actually used the word "perfect", but we don't want to get big heads.)

Mary is *almost* crawling. She's very good at dragging herself around. Hard on the clothes; fun for the baby.

Where IS that river?!

The girls & I went for a walk in the woods at the park today. I did it partly because Anna's been wanting to go down there (it's all downhill from the playground) and partly because I wanted to see the Appomattox River, which is out there...somewhere. By the time we found it - 45 minutes into the walk, on a day when the heat index reached at least 108 - we only got to hang around five minutes or so before Mary's "cranky switch" flipped. There wasn't any place for me to sit & feed her, so we had to walk up to the picnic pavilion, which is about ten minutes up the hill, with a cranky baby, a cranky mommy, and a toddler who just wanted to enjoy the river & play with our water bottle. Well, they have to learn repentance from someone - might as well be me. At least the river was pretty. :)
