Our Girls!

This past Saturday one of the Refugee schools held a fair to help raise money.

Micah, Lydia and Ray went to support the school... and play! I stayed home with Elli to get a much needed nap!

Lydia won some prizes from games and also walked away with a tummy full of yummy food and sweets!

Sunday after church we had two birthday parties to attend. Lydia is so cute with her friends.

And this is our friend Ezra!

Elli is still just laying around looking cute... most of the time. She has started a pattern of staying up for long periods in the evening with a tummy ache.

I don't know what it is about this little munchkin, but something about her reminds me of baby pictures of her Uncle Zach.

She has out grown two new born outfits. We still have two packs of new born diapers. I hope she can hold off on the growing just a bit so we can use those precious diapers.

Lydia is oh so cute, BUT she is definitely a two year old. Well almost. She has really started putting up a fight with us. It takes all of our energy to keep up with these two girls.

Here is Lydia playing in Daddy's office.

We have had a pretty heavy few days. I am feeling particularly leaky eyed. I have been told by many to expect that after giving birth. Lydia's chronic 'do the opposite of what we want her to do' is emotionally wearing, especially with a chronic lack of sleep. And this week we had a friend from church pass away. She had a car accident last week and never stabilized enough for needed surgery. She had a disorder from birth that caused her bones to be very fragile. She has been in a wheelchair her whole life. Her name was Carol. Micah and I have vivid memories at the forefront of our minds of Carol entertaining Lydia during church. We were not very close to Carol, but it is still devastating that our sister is no longer us.
