Bikiniland

Abby and Ella have enjoyed our backyard pool.

The girls got some hand-me-downs and both got a bikini!

Duck Pond

Abby and Ella spent some time at City "Lake" yesterday

and enjoyed feeding the ducks.

Happy Birthday, Ella!

Tonight we had a birthday party for Ella Bella.

As you can see, she enjoyed the cake and ice cream.

Abby decorated Ella's cake with sprinkles.

It was tough for Abby to understand that it was Ella's birthday, not hers. So she got to blow her candle out and got to open a few treats, too.

I think Abby was most thrilled with the wagon that our friend Jeanie brought the girls.

Happy girl!

She's really starting to gain confidence in taking steps. She is now taking 2 or 3 on her own. After dinner (and a bath), Daddy shot off fireworks and hosted a dance party in the living room.
