And a picture from after church today..before is always better, but we were running late..like always :)

The girls :)

Family picture before Church

We take a lot of pictures to get one decent one...this one of Lily was pretty great

While we were in Oregon Joe made the girls a house for their playroom. The top two "rooms" are made so a twin bed can fit so at some point we might move their beds in..but for now they have reading on one side and barbies on the other...the bottom has their kitchen and table..

they love it and have spent hours playing! If it ever stops raining Joe will cut the trim for the windows and then it will be mostly done..but there are lots of little things I still want to add so i'll keep updating :)

Not much..

We went to Wazoos tonight with a bunch of friends :)

Zebra coat that I totally should have bought..if you live in Florence its probably still at the goodwill :)

Still a few lbs to go, so hopefully I can get some motivation to get back on the elliptical!!
