Pictures by India

It looks like we have quite the photographer on our hands...Grandma and Auntie you would be so proud. Here are just a few examples of India's pictures.

Littleton Museum

The Littleton Museum is a gem in our local area. It is free to the public and includes acres of living history from the 1860s and 1890s. The girls had fun running around, chasing sheep, seeing a lot of other animals and playing with toys from over 100 years ago.

Play Day with Cousin Cenika

Cousin Cenika came and spent the night much to the delight of India and Jordyn. Since she has left the girls keep asking where she is and if she is going to go where ever we are going. So cute!!! They really had a blast!

Dancing; A favorite pasttime

Denver Children's Museum

The girls had an exciting time at the Children's Museum last week. It is so fun to see how into everything they get as they get older! This place was great.

Like Father, Like Daughter

My husband likes to deny that his oldest daughter is a spitting image of him. He says that there is no way someone so pretty could look like him. Well, here is the official evidence...first, the nose....and who can deny that forehead!
(Sorry the captions don't fit. They look right in the edit mode and I am not a computer guru so this will have to do.)

The forehead at a few weeks old.







India's forehead present day.

The evidence.... Daddy's forehead when he's thinking, worried,or in an odd position on the floor.

Colorado Beach

So, this is what a Colorado Beach looks like. The sand leaves much to be desired, but the views are spectacular. If you are a toddler none of this matters, you have a ball anywhere there are water, toys, and sand. (The hillside in the background caught fire a mere 3 hours after we left...no buildings burned, but it is still a bummer).
Hope everyone is well. We are having a great time, enjoying the last few days of our summer.

Notable Progress

While we are not convinced that soccer is in India's future, she has made some very noticable progress. She actually stayed on the field the entire 2nd half of last weeks game. We won't mention the few breaks she took sitting down pulling up grass. However, when the action got close she did her thing by tackling the ball and whoever was close to it.


Jordyn has also made notable progress on using the potty. Just a week ago she was in active rebellion stage. She doesn't like the little potty and has had some success with the big potty. She is happy to be going in the right direction:-)

Our Girls

Living the last weeks of summer to the fullest! Here are our beauties!

Swimming Lessons

The girls have swimming lessons this week and next. Jordyn loves the water! She still takes her lessons with mom or dad. She gets bored just hanging out in the water but once the toys come out and she can jump in off the side, she loves it. India is taking lessons all by herself. The pool is absolutely perfect for kids her size...it is all 2 and 3 feet deep where they swim. I can honestly say that her legs do not stop moving from the time she gets into the water until the time she gets out. She even stands against the wall running and jumping in place. She is just so excited! This does make floating a bit challenging because you are supposed to stay still, but somehow it all works. We are so proud of them!
