Swimming...

We have done a lot of swimming already this summer. It's so fun to watch these girls in the pool. Stella's favorite thing to do is dive to the deepest part of the pool and get rings or goggles that have been left on the bottom of the pool. It's so fun to watch and totally terrifying at the same time. Stella can hold her breath forever. She will jump off the diving board and then swim along the bottom of the pool to the shallow part (well shallower part 5 ft) of the pool to take her first breath. I think she freaks out all of the adults every time she does it. They have both become really great swimmers and it's so much fun to watch them swim. Nora loves the water as much as the other girls do.

Gardening...

My camera card is full and I guess that means I need to get those photos off the camera and onto the blog. Journaling has been slow these days but here are some high lights of things that have been going on. Kris help the girls make a fort in the back yard a few months back. I piped in and thought we should add flower boxes. So we went and got them some flowers to plant in their window boxes. Each of them had their own to plant and didn't want ANY help! So I had to coach from the sidelines... But they did take directions fairly well. They turned out really cute and the girls are loving the fort! When I took the pictures they would only make crazy faces... one less fight! Jody had helped me get the front flower beds paned and planted. I'm loving them and wish that they were growing even faster! Thank you Jody! They look so good. I need to get pictures of that as well.

Coming to an End.

School is coming to a close. I have to say that these are some of the cutest things I didn't want to forget.

I love that when I drive carpool Molly always jumps out of the car and heads up to school, but she will always turn and give me a wave goodbye, no matter what the morning has been like. I LOVE that. 

How can your heart not melt when you see that sweet little face waving goodbye.

Then she will turn again and run up the hill. I love that I can see that huge back pack that is bigger than her bouncing up and down as she runs off to school. 

It has been a great year and Molly has loved Mrs. B.

Some days seem to drag on forever and then there are moments like this that make me cry, because I know I will never get them back. I love this girl. 

She is such a great little girl and really tries hard to do what's right.

Love you Mo Money!
