Who are you child?

Today we had our second Summer Fun playdate. We have a local splash pad, so we all headed over to play in the water followed by lunch at the adjacent park. Jen, Kristina, Lindsey, Kristin, Sarah, Kim and Allison (along with 15 children between us) were all able to make it. The weather was truly perfect.
Jen's daughter Maddie, 7 months.
Avi Joy's favorite spot.
Lindsey's son James. He introduced Avi Joy to mud. I know folks, she had yet to have the desire to play in the mud, but she had a great time. They all had as much fun playing in the mud as the splash pad itself.
I am in charge of spoiling the mom's who come to the playdate so today was... chocolate covered strawberries (rolled in all kinds of goodies).
In other news- Our handsome man turned 13 months today. We have been a family of four for 6 months now! He just looks totally kissable in this picture. But I am slightly biased.
While Nehemiah slept yesterday Avi Joy and I played Beauty Shop. She got the works: nails, toes, full make-up and for the first time ever, I flat-ironed her hair. It was truly a "who are you child?" moment!!! (and that was probably the first and last time be/c I am totally head over heels for her curls.)
My precious gift from God.
Heartlight.org stung me again this morning with its daily email...
"Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."

Have a great week,

The playdate looked fun! It is obvious that Avi Joy will look wonderful no matter what kind of hair she has, huh? She just can't help but be beautiful. I look forward to seeing them both soon! Wink!

It looked like you had a great playdate - for both children and moms. Avi Joy and Nehemiah are so precious and I can't wait to meet them in person.

Hugs,
Tracy

Love the mud picture. How sweet. You're right...Nehemiah looks totally kissable.

Avi Joy looks so grown up with the straight hair. She looks like one of those sweet little Vietnamese ladies we saw at the Rex. So cute though.
