Brown & White



Aren't these some of the cutest kids you've ever seen? The white ones are mine, the brown ones are Jen's :) I think our family needs to spend some more time in the sun! Hopefully we will be able to do that next week when we stay out at Sandy Pines! :)

We LOVE summer


































































We have been having a wonderful summer! Laney loves to play in the sandbox up at the cottage, or go fishing off the dock. She also has some new "boy" friends next door. They are so sweet to share their toys and swing set. Laney also loves her brother Lee. Lee is so responsive right now - smiles and coos all the time. He is trying very hard to roll over - but doesn't get much time to practice on the floor :(. Laney smothers him with hugs and kisses. It is so fun to see them interact with each other. It has been so great to have Dave around during these summer months too. Too bad they are going so fast!!!

The Greatest 4th in the North?

It's the time of year we make an annual trek up to Lake City for some quality Doll family time at the greatest 4th in the north. This year the weather was very wet and gray :( providing us with lots of quality Doll family time :)














It was so nice to pass Lee around(Auntie Dana latched on to him as much as she could - making up for lost time while she was in Africa!) and watch the aunts and cousins entertain Laney and take her to the playground when it wasn't raining(Aunt Betty's the coolest!). We ate a lot of good food (especially waffles) and had a fun time(Quiddler anyone?).














On the 4th we attended a parade for about 10 minutes, until Laney saw someone dressed in a teddy bear costume and freaked out! "I scared of the teddy bear" she told us :) Since she wouldn't stop crying we ended up walking back to the cottage to take a nap. We'll try again next year!?!
