Well, enough about the boys....here's what the girls have been doing this summer.
Mary Rose has been staying busy with her friends, with violin and of course, with her one true love......books!

She gets into kind of a panic when she's on the last few chapters of a book if she does not have something else on hand to start reading immediately. Most people make a dash to the grocery when they run out of milk; we make unplanned dashes to the library because we've run out of books and can't last a day without them! It's an addiction, I tell you!
Last weekend, Mary Rose got an amazing opportunity to participate in an artistic workshop with Alexandre Renoir, who is the great grandson of the impressionist painter, Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Alexandre is also an artist and one of our local museums had an exhibit of his work. Pierre also hosted a workshop for kids.....Mary Rose came home with an original sketch by him, which she painted at the workshop. It was a neat experience and she had so much fun attending with her friends Emily, Abigail and James. Thanks again to Mrs. Brenda for taking the girls! Here's a picture of Mary Rose at the workshop with Monsieur Renoir; she's standing a couple of people behind him in the striped shirt...

Sophie had lots of pool time last week with swim lessons in the morning and then a swim party for her friend Skylar's birthday. She LOVES the water! She is getting braver each summer and is finally going off the diving board. Here is a picture of her with her friend, Skylar....
Now for the REALLY exciting summer event..........all 4 kids are in Kentucky for whole week with Kevin's parents!!! They are so very generous and brave to take on all of those grandkids
each summer! Cousin Claire is also with them...the girls especially love having her there to spend the week at Pops and Grandma's, too. They are packing in the fun....the first day involved bowling, a movie and Chuck E. Cheese....all in ONE DAY!! I'm tired just thinking about it, but Pops & Grandma are going strong! I can't imagine what else the week has in store. Pray for them all!! Here is the gang all loaded up and heading out to Mayfield....look, Grandma's already praying....or maybe she's thinking "When I open my eyes, this will all just have been a bad dream...."
Kevin and I have been out on the town every night! It's amazing how much cheaper we can eat without 4 kids in tow! Last night, we puttered around Barnes & Noble with no kids......aahhhh (big sigh of contentment.) Tonight, we may get really crazy and go to the cinema.....
