The Good and The Hour of Bad

I love summer holidays. No rushing to get Lily to school, no rushing to pick her up. Actually, just no rushing whatsoever.
We have been busy having fun. Rose is a little adventure Queen and Lily is a fine example in that arena. If Lily can do it then Rose thinks she should give it a shot. We went to a water park with a large group of friends and Rosie loved it. I put her in my lap and we went down a water slide and she laughed all the way to the bottom, got up and said, again. I don't have any photos because my hands were full with 2 girls and all that water. We had a riot and cannot wait to go again but this time we will take Daddy with us.

Rose and Marco. Marco is Lily's Bear Skin Rug but Rose has commandeered him much to Lily's chagrin. We are working on finding one for Rosie.

Bubble bath. I put bubbles in the bath the other night and I think it is the first time Rosie has seen them. She loved 'em and of course being Rosie, she ate some.

The face that can light up a city.

Yesterday was A*merican Airlines company picnic and Lily had so much fun. It was well over 90 degrees and quite frankly much to hot for we English wimps but I put my game face on and dove right in.

This child of mine fears NOTHING

This was fun and Rose laughed the whole way down it is just hard to see her face.

At least Lily liked it.

Yesterday I found out that our trip home this summer has been cancelled. As much as I fully understand the reason I woke up this morning so disappointed.

And for the hour of bad: last night it was time for Lily to go to bed and she couldn't find her Bunny. In fact none of us could find her Bunny so after and hour of searching we finally told her she had to go to sleep without him. It was so sad. Her little face was streaked with tears and she was crushed. We put her in our bed in an attempt to soften the blow but she still didn't fall asleep. Jacob and I kept searching and after a couple of hours of shredding the house I found him in her toy kitchen in a tub under a pile of toy kitchenware. We immediately ran him upstairs and she was elated and so were we. She slept like a log, instantly.

Off to a farewell party for some friends that are moving to Shang Hai.....lucky ducks!

Hi my friend:

Thanks for inviting me to your private blog. I still think it is so funny that I had a premonition that one existed..hehe!

It was so great to see you guys on Satuday and thank you for the thank you note :)

My mom could not stop talking about what a wonderful little girl Lily is. She really is quite a girl. Rosey is even more adorable in person.

I am so glad that we finally got to meet each other's newest arrivals. I missed you and I am happy to be able to catch up with you again.

Love
me

Hi,

I finally got it sorted out and I'm getting caught up with your frantic life. Just had to ask, what is that animal on Lily's shoulders?
