Grammy and Her Girls

Here are the girls with my mom. Isn't my mom beautiful? She glows. I love her smile, and I love it that the older I get the more people tell me that I look like her. She had a whopper of a migraine in this picture, and she still looked beautiful!

New Jersey

We recently took a trip to New Jersey to visit Scott's folks, and here are a few pics from that.

We took a trip to the seashore to visit a clown convention. (Out of respect to Scott, I didn't post any clown pictures.) While there, we walked down the boardwalk to the arcade, rode the carousel, and ate some yummy boardwalk food.

We also went to Merry's all-time favorite restaurant, a Japanese hibachi steakhouse.
Merry spends her whole time there, flirting with the cook. She LOVES the chef. And both girls love the food. They eat and eat and eat whenever we go there. As you can see by the photo, they've become quite proficient with the kids' chopsticks. They usually refuse to eat with forks when we eat hibachi.

Grammy Lynn bought them those dazzling princess dresses, and they wore them to Medieval Times and got their picture taken with the King and Princess. The Green Knight threw them carnations, and they sort of stole the show.

It was a wonderful trip.

Sisterly Love

I took these photos today before we went to church. They girls were thrilled to be in their new dresses and hats from Grammy Lynn. So thrilled that they couldn't stop hugging each other!
Aren't they adorable?
It reminds me of a poem my dad used to quote to Katie and me:

There was a little girl
Who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead
And when she was good
She was very, very good
But when she was bad
She was horrid

Today they were very, very good.

Asthma Season

As you can see from the photos below, asthma season is in full swing here in the Lynn household.
Unfortunately both my girls have childhood asthma, which we are hoping they outgrow.
Here they are, watching a movie while having their breathing treatments.
Generally, they are good for their treatments, as long as there is a movie on.
It takes me at least half an hour to give them each two treatments, and I'm supposed to give them up to three a day.
Its going to be a loooong winter.

Our Little Architect

Today, during church, I gave Merry a crayon and a piece of paper to color on. This is what she came up with.
Her "house".







Now tell me something. Isn't that good for a four-year old?
She actually pointed out those rooms that are labeled to me, and guess what? That is just about exactly the layout of our house! Okay, there are a FEW too many lines drawn, but hey, what can you expect from a four-year old?

Oh, by the way, I drew Chloe. Merry's not THAT good!

First Days of School, A Concert, and New Friends

We have had a very busy week! Whew...where do I start??
First, we had Labor Day. We went out to my aunt and uncle's cabin and had a good time with my dad's family. I don't quite recall what we did on Tuesday, but we kept pretty busy.
Merry got another spider bite, on her eye this time. I noticed it Tuesday afternoon and gave her some Benydryl and put her down for a nap. After her nap, it was looking even more red and swollen, and I tried to get her into her pediatrician but the office was closed for the evening. So, I gave her some more medication and put her to bed. Wednesday morning she woke up and her eye was so swollen and red that she could barely open it. I got her in to see the doctor and found out it was probably a spider bite and already very infected. They put her on heavy-duty antibiotics and Benydryl and it is clearing up.
After taking her to the doctor on Wednesday, I had to take her to Visitation Day at her preschool. She got reacquainted with her teachers and friends and had a great time. We went from there to pick up Kelsey at my dad's and then home for a brief nap.
After naptime, we headed over to the church because we had a concert with The MacDonald Family Singers. It was an awesome concert, and the MacDonald's are wonderful people. The concert began at seven, and we didn't leave the church until eleven, due to some great fellowship afterwards.
I will try to post some pictures of the concert tomorrow, if at all possible.

Today was Kelsey's Visitation Day at preschool. Oh my! That girl was so excited she couldn't see straight! She LOVED her teachers, the activities and meeting new friends. But most of all, she LOVED her new totebag that the school gave her! We brought it home and after naptime we decorated Merry and Kelsey's totebags for school. They are extremely fancy, and the girls are thrilled.

Tonight we had Bible Study at the church, and I had 14 kids (my kids' choir kids) in a tiny room decorating hats for a concert we are doing this fall. They were wild, noisy and a handful, but they had a blast, and so did I.

We just got the girls in bed, and its time to crash.
I will try to post pictures tomorrow of the concert and Merry's first official day of school.

My Scrabble© Score is: 11.
What is your score? Get it here.


The only reason I posted this is because my mom and I LOVE Scrabble!
We don't get to play very often because of being busy with the girls, but that is one incredible game!
Let's play again soon, Momma!

Here's looking at you. Posted by Picasa

We found this little guy on our porch light when we got home this evening. This is probably the biggest bug we have ever seen. The weirdest part was how he turned his head and looked at us. He continued staring while we went in the house. I think he was offended that we were interrupting his dinner.
