Kevin is still working crazy hours so I’ve been a little short handed around the house.  I’m afraid my posting here has suffered.  Sigh.  The girls and I have been enjoying our summer though.  They may just have their mama’s gardening gene because they love to help me weed and water and admire all the flowers in our backyard.  I decided to encourage this and bought them each their own sunflower plant.  They helped me dig the hole, plant, and water them and now every morning they can’t wait to run outside with their little watering cans and take care of their own flower.  It’s quite sweet.

We also received a surprise package in the mail from Nana Walls full of home knit love.  She made the girls their very own hooded ponchos!  When I opened the package, Leina declared she wanted the blue one and Kulia wanted the rainbow.  Which was perfect since the blue was larger.  Phew!  Don’t you just love it when it all works out?  So here are the girls modeling their ponchos.  They were quite confused by the lack of arm holes at first but quickly discovered how comfy they were and didn’t want to take them off.  Look out fall weather, we are armed and ready for you!  Thanks Nana Walls!
