Butterfly & Pool Syrup!

I have lots of photos (aka syrup) to share in the post! Madeline wanted to release her butterflies, so we did that one evening this week.

At first she was scared to hold them but I showed her it's no big deal. 

(Gosh I have wrinkly fingers!)

So she held one after I did.

On the tips of her finger before it flew away!

So we go to the pool about 3-4 times a week. Sorry if you are already getting sick of my pool pics! But I love taking them of the kids. James and Madeline just keep getting tanner and tanner! At least they are blessed with skin that rarely ever burns.

My first underwater capture of James! :) Love all the bubbles in the pic, he's still learning to hold his breath under water.

Doesn't Madeline's arm look like it goes on forever in this photo!?

Jumping in the water.

Showing some brotherly-sisterly love.

She just keeps getting older and older, time passes by so fast!

But she'll always be my baby girl!

This weekend we also went and got a 10 week Sam's Club membership for $10! The deal ends today. We thought we'd give it a try for the summer, and it'll be nice to buy in bulk for our family reunion. We've always been Costco people especially since Stephen worked there for so many years. But we haven't had a membership there for a couple of years. And there are 2 Sam's Clubs much closer. It's just like Costco inside - except they don't have Kirkland's brand but their own name brand.

I still have a lot of cleaning and rearranging to do in our home before everyone arrives. But today I am devoting my time to sewing baby blankets for a dear friend who is expecting twins! I need to mail them off tomorrow. So I better get cranking!
