Big news! Gigi now 4&1/2, rolled over for the first time yesterday. She is growing so fast. The baby milestones seem to arrive much quicker when you are watching them for a second time. She continues to be a very easy and happy baby. I know its not fair:)

Big sister Abby finished her first week of vacation bible school on Friday and had a blast. She got to stay up late each night - VBS ended at 8:30. Staying up late has long been a dream of Abby's. She often says she wished she could stay up forever.

We had a great weekend. Summer is here. We went to the beach on Saturday as a family and met the Schultz's there. Abby played with Jed and Aaaron - such good kids. We had a great time. Abby played great with the boys. I tried to carry her ino the waves, but she would have none of that. She watched me take Aaron (almost two) into wast high water and thought she would brave the ocean too, but then was a bit spooked when we got wet. So, Ryan dug her a tide pool she splashed around in 6 inches of water:)

And then today, we went to church, napped and then back to the beach for a BBQ with friends. We arrived at 4pm and it was still about 80 degrees and beautiful. The beach was crowded and all picnic areas filled. What a great sight. Abby plays so well with other kids and she is able to self entertain so well. She sat in the sand and occupied herself until she warmed up the other kids (two boys). Then she had a great time. Jack chased her with seaweed... Shewatched the boys throw sand at each other and was amazed that they did not cry or get into trouble. Ahh a boys life.

Abby starts Zoo camp tomorrow. Its a long day, but I think she'll have a good time - and maybe she'll nap well. Her good friend Leighton will be there too. I'm going to try to get some work done. We'll see how it goes. I may have to bring in a "mommy's helper" to HELP.

Time Abby's reading time. More soon.
