End of summer

We've had a busy month with lots of fun. Mom Mom (the girls' GREAT grandmother) arrived earlier this month to celebrate the upcoming birthdays. Katie has been having lots of fun with her...bossing her, doing stickers, coloring and puzzles. They are best buddies!


We FINALLY got Emily to the beach this year. After about 30 minutes of packing and prep, we made it over to Wrightsville (which is only 10 minutes from our house). Now that the tourists are gone, we got a great spot near the pier and in the shade!
For the first couple minutes, Emily wasn't so sure about the sand...until she realized how great it was. She loved sitting in the surf and letting the water come splash over her legs. Even more than that, she loved picking up the wet sand and trying to eat it. This girl will eat anything! Below are some pictures of our day (2 hours) at the beach...




We've been enjoying the nice weather lately and are thankful the sweltering heat is gone. We can't believe that in less than a week, we will have a one and three year old! Emily's two bottom teeth have started to pop out and she is standing for short periods of time. I'm not sure she will walk by her birthday, but she is getting close. I will save the reminiscent thoughts for her birthday post, but what a year we've had!
My baby girl (both of them) are getting so big!
