Visit from Kel and Olivier

Kel reading to Elsinore and Lindsey
Visits from Kelli and Olivier are the best.  They arrive in late June.  Kelli stayed for over a month, Olivier stayed for a couple of weeks.   They both love the little girls and plan fun outings for all of us who otherwise can't seem to get it together on our own.  Thanks for the great talks, laughs, and climbs.  We love you guys and can't wait for you to be Boise residents!
 
Smores in the City of Rocks - no shoes and a campfire.  Not sure what we were thinking...
 
Lindsey loves Elsi and whatever Elsi does, Lindsey wants to do. 
Elsi is excited about climbing, Lindsey is excited about snacks.

More 2nd b-day pics

I think I've talked about Roxie in some of my previous postings.  I'm not sure how many actual pictures of Roxie and Lindsey have made it on the blog.  I love love love this one of the two of them on Lindsey's actual birthday, June 20th.

Park Center Montessori - week 1

Day 1

A couple weeks ago, Lindsey transitioned from Giraffe Laugh to Park Center Montessori.  These pictures we taken on our front porch on Day 1 and 2.  Her teacher is Ms. Rose who many parents refer to as the baby whisperer.  She's a wonderful lady who talks softly and kindly to everyone.  Lindsey seems to love her new class and teacher.

Mommy, Daddy, I want a doggie

Luke lives next door.  He is an obnoxious Veeshla who has won Lindsey's heart.  Luke is so obnoxious that several years ago I refused to dog sit anymore because he doesn't even know how to walk on a leash.  Lindsey sings Luke happy birthday, gives him kisses, and soft pets.  It won't be long before we hear "Mommy, Daddy, I need a dog."  Enough said.

Hang Time

Some time ago, Chris taught Lindsey how to swing on the bars under our island.  She used to just hang with her feet on the ground and say "whoa whoa"!  Now she's in a full swing, both feet off the ground, and screaming with delight.  Hilarious.

Lindsey is 2!!!

Decorating cupcake in kitty cat pajamas!
Little Lindsey Kate is now two.  These pictures are from a birthday party we hosted on June 15th in the backyard.  The morning started out with cupcake decorating with Mom, watersports with friends, princess pinata, cupcakes, presents, and tuts. 

Lindsey likes to sing "Happy Birthday" to Roxie.  Roxie is Grandma Barb and Grandpa Dave's less than 10 pound dog which Lindsey adores.  We talked about singing Happy Birthday to Lindsey and the fact that it was Lindsey's birthday party.  But its still Roxie's birthday at our house and don't expect it to change anytime soon. 

The past few months have been great fun as Lindsey learned to speak sentences, found her sense of humor, creativity, and opinions.  Being Lindsey's parent is lots of fun and I think the two's will provide endless entertainment for our house.
