A few weeks update...

Well, I'm officially out of my "slump." Riley Grace is back home with us, school has started, and life seems to be getting back to normal. Over the last week or so we've had lots of fun and I just thought I'd share some of it with you all.

Maggie Ruth and Caroline enjoyed the TINY little pool one night after they ate supper with us. Its funny to watch them stir around when they're having fun. They're like a bunch of little ants...they never stop moving.

Maggie Ruth also loves her sister's goggles. I happened to catch them actually on her face in this shot, but they're usually hanging around her neck like a necklace. Last weekend we were in Birmingham for the Commodity Conference (Riley Grace had Russell take this picture one afternoon in the hotel). We did some shopping, swimming and very little resting. We were back home Sunday afternoon in time for church and then it was home to get ready for the big week. School started on Monday.

Monday when Riley Grace got home from school, she went to her bedroom to do her homework and guess who was close behind her... her shadow, Maggie Ruth. Riley got Maggie a notebook and pencil so she would think she was doing her homework too. They were too cute.

They had to pose for me once they realized I was taking their picture.

Riley Grace's best friend Julia came home with her on Wednesday afternoon and this is what I found them all outside doing... playing in the water hose (minus a few pieces of clothing).

Riley and Julia were good sports... they'd just sit down on the patio and let Maggie wet them. She was loving it and they were too.

Our most recent fun was Caroline's 2nd birthday party last night. It was so much fun! I'm sure Shonna will be posting it soon so check out her blog for more pictures of that (I forgot my camera, but it worked out well because I was Shonna's photographer.)
