OAK-SHA-BOW-GEE!!

The Keira and Lainey Daily: July 12, 2012

1. Keira is looking forward to going to Oak-SHA-BOW-GEE  (I just LOVE how she says Okoboji!) this weekend with her friend Hayden, and our good friends Kyle and Leighanne. She has grand plans of  building sandcastles, sitting on the beach, and playing noodles (water noodles) with Hayden.

2. Funny quotes of the day....
Austin dropped his knife during dinner and Keira gasped and says, "Daddy! I wasn't 'specting' that!"

Grandpa Steve then chuckled and said, "Keira, if it was a cloudy day, you could make the sun shine!" She turned to him and with her eyes wide adamantly says, "No Grandpa, Jesus makes the sun shine!" He then laughed again, to which she said, "Grandpa! JESUS makes the sun shine, not me!" How adorable, she is our little evangelist. :) We are praying that she comes to know Jesus for herself at an early age, and continues to be an evangelist throughout her entire life! 

3. Lainey is sitting like a PRO! She loves to sit, and is working really hard at scooting/trying to crawl. She is just dying to move! She has recently sucking her lip in, and sticking her tongue out to get attention. It is the funniest face! She will also wrinkle her little nose up now when she laughs. HILARIOUS!

4. Lainey just this week started loving food! Until now, she has not done well with it. We are introducing fruits and veggies mixed with rice, and she is doing great! I am hoping that the food will help her start sleeping longer at night, as she has still been getting up 3-4 times per night, and it is KILLING me! ;)  

Keira is turning out to be alot like Austin. She looks like his miniature in body stature, and has a pretty chill personality like his. She frequently says, "I suppose that will be fine" as she shrugs her shoulders. Lately she has been so well behaved (thank you LORD!) and is so fun to be with as she helps with chores,and listens when you asks her to do something.

Lainey seems to be much more like me, as she is short and petite. She LOVES attention, to be held, and will let you know with a whine if she isn't being played with enough. She is very determined and smart as well! She cries the second you put a bow on her head, and will instantly yank it off. (Little stinker!). She seems to know when sissy is in bed, and thinks that is her prime time to entertain mom and dad. ;)


I just love these two little girls so much! I can't believe God has blessed us with BOTH of them. They are so different, but both hold a special place in our hearts!
