Sisters

Amelia really loves being a big sister. There has been very little jealousy, although it has been a bit of an adjustment not getting all the attention all the time. Amelia loves to hold Nina, she reads to her and plays with her everyday. You can see how much Nina loves Amelia, she will look around everytime she hears Amelia's voice and Nina always has smiles for Amelia. There is nothing better in the world then watch my two girls just be sisters.


Please ignore the chocolate all over Amelia's face, we are making cupcakes for Family Fun Night at her school tonight.



Amelia reads to Nina almost everday. Nina will just watch her and happily kick her feet.

Chickens

Last week we went to visit Hilary's newest additions, the chickens. Amelia was nervous at first because of all things to be scared of, she is scared of chickens. She got bit by one pretty bad at the zoo when she was about 18 months old and ever since has been scared. After a couple of minutes though she was fine.

Nina Is Getting So Big

She even smiles. I haven't been quick enough with the camera yet to catch a really good one though.

One second after a good smile.

Soccer

Amelia is playing in her third season of soccer, the second outdoor season. She has really improved. She will chase the ball down and this morning, ran it all the way down the field. Her favorite is to be the goalie, which she is very good at. At practice, her coach as asked her to be a leader because she knows what she is doing and always listens. I was so proud of her at her game this morning, she did an amazing job.


Practicing goal throws



She is leading the pack.

I love how her hair is flying all over, she is moving so fast.

Amelia's First Day of School

This year Amelia is going to First Presbyterian Preschool 4 days a week for their Pre-K program. Her teacher's name is Mrs. Goodman. She has several friends in the class from last year and she even gets to have her best friend Alessandra in her class this year too.

At her open house, making her placemat.

The official first day

In her classroom, which is very yellow and makes all the pictures yellowish.

She was happy to see the Jesus statue again.

Beautiful Girls

This post is really just pictures. My girls are so beautiful, especially their eyes, both have such beautiful blue eyes. My favorite pictures are ones that show their beautiful eyes. I just wanted to share some new pictures with everyone.

Nina always falls asleep with her hands in the funniest positions. Amelia always did too when she was a baby.

Family Fun

On Saturday we went up to Woodland Park to hang out with the Mills crowd. All the girls has a great time playing with Alyssa and Phil. The grown-ups mainly had fun hula-hooping. It was a good time for everyone.


This is who should be using the hula-hoops.


These two pictures are who used the hula-hoops the most.
