6 Little Girls: 0,1,2,3,4,& 5

At the end of the week the Andersons joined us for two nights. It was so much fun to have them! It gave the girls some new excitement for their last days, which they needed. All 6 of them on the couch is so cute! All 6 of them in a small condo is so crazy! 4 of them on Shishaw's lap is hilarious.

Story Time

The girls got to read A LOT of stories with everyone over the week. They spent a really long time reading Bible stories with Uncle Kevin, which turned into everyone listening to the stories. He reads very well!

Shiloah told Papaw that she did not like his new hairstyle, even though she loves him very much. What do you think?

Daddy and Norah

She took a few days to get comfortable with the sand and the ocean. By the end of our week at the beach she was pretty good, of course. She was quite happy to be escorted by her handsome father into the ocean and get splashed by some of the waves, though.

On the beach

The girls found a HUGE hole that some bigger kids had been working on for a few days and they spent a good amount of time playing in them. They got totally covered in sand! At one point they even built a tunnel in the middle.

On our way to the beach...

Two days after we got home from Fairfax we packed up and left for the beach. This year we went to Topsail Island, but on our way we stopped at the Anderson's new house in Raleigh. Even though the girls haven't seen each other in almost a year it was like they had been playing together all the time! They dressed up, ate lunch, and did all sorts of little things that made a HUGE mess. We got to meet the newest little Anderson girl, Molly, too. Norah was a little disturbed about her mom holding another baby. Shiloah might have taken Molly home with her if we let her! Hannah was sorta indifferent. Eh... But it was so fun to see our friends again!

Hannah and Mommy visit Fairfax, Va

I take a vacation to visit my beloved grandparents each summer. This year, because she is so big and five, Hannah got to come with me. We had a great time on the airplane and a really nice time with Joan and Bill. We also had the best duck at Peking Gourmet of all time. I ate a TON! Bill taught Hannah how to drive the train, Joan bought Hannah the most beautiful dress-up dress in the whole wide world, and Hannah and I got to have lots of special time together. She missed Shiloah very, very much, and Daddy very much, and Norah a little. It was a very special vacation to remember!
