My Little Girl Is Growing Up!
I just wanted to write a quick post for this past week for Lelia to look back on. This week we have had a few firsts that have made me tear up and know that my little girl is no longer little any more. Friday night she had her very first sleep over at Uma's house without Mommy or Daddy. In spite of the fact that she only got 4 hours of sleep due to a talking pillow and a cat who startled her awake by playing her with her feet, she did great and wasn't homesick at all. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel about that. Then, yesterday she went to her first summer camp for 3 hours by herself. She was so excited to play on the gymnastics equipment that she didn't mind me leaving at all. She did great. I can't believe we have gotten to this point with her already. My little girl is growing up!!

Lelia's First Trip to the Dentist!!
Lelia went to the dentist for the first time yesterday and she did a GREAT job. She did just what the hygenist asked her to do as well as the doctor. After the appointment she got to pick out a special tooth brush and a ring. Afterwards she asked if she could pick one out for her sister...awww!
Aunt Beth's Visit / Chuch-E-Cheese
Tom's sister, Beth, came to visit us for a week in mid-July. We always have such a nice time with her and she's always bearing many many gifts! They went to Chuch-E-Cheese without mommy(home sick with 1st trimester yucks) to play and have fun.
4th of July in Washington DC
We took the girls matresses with us and they slept on the floor. They LOVED this set up so much that we had to separate thier 2 matresses (see above) because they were too excited to sleep so close together :) 
At the DC 4th of July parade...it was HOT!
We went to the pool. Sedona couldn't swim because I forgot her swimming diaper. I tried to sneak her into the pool before they noticed and she peed on the concrete right in front of the lifeguard about 30 seconds before I could get her in the pool. My dishonesty was revealed. It was pretty embarrassing!
We borrowed Jack and mom's condo that is about 2 blocks from a metro stop. The above picture is how we ate our meals. They have the condo because Jack works in Tysons Corner and needs a place to stay some nights during his work weeks. So...they don't have a table to eat at because they don't need one. The girls LOVED eating on the floor. Especially Sedona.
We went to the National zoo!
One of the girls favorite parade floats...Madeline. They love that book...thier Uncle Nick gave it to them.Making Margarita Pizzas
One of the most important things to me as I raise my girls is in training them to be keepers of a home some day. They are very young now to be doing any "real" training but I am getting them started in the little fun things...like making our favorite pizza!
