Baby Love





We were looking for a template for a shirt for one of Gabby's art projects and found this doll. June fell in love with her first baby doll immediately.

Meatloaf




Last weekend, while going through one of our old cookbooks, Gabby found our recipe for meatloaf. I don't think we've made it since before Gabby was born. If we had, she didn't remember it and after looking at the recipe, thought it would be good. I agreed, but told her that she would have to do all the manual labor since my arthritis was acting up. She said, "No problem" and we headed off to the store to get the ingredients.









What I conveniently omitted was that meatloaf is a real hands on process. The spices, ketchup, and eggs don't get fully mixed into the meat if you use a spoon.


Gabby's not a real "get your hands dirty" kind of kid, but she dug right in. She did a great job because the meatloaf was very tasty.




Do You Like My Hat






My friend, Liz, picked up this adorable hat for Junie. I took a whole bunch of pictures of June wearing it, but this was Gabby's favorite one. She couldn't stop laughing at Junie's flared nostrils.

Wet & Wild






Gabby offered to take June into the shower with her this morning. When I came into the bathroom they were having a great time playing in the water.









I quickly went to get the camera and made it back to catch them making faces on the glass.














Being sprayed by the water is one of June's favorite things.
