Rain, rain, go away...

We have had rain everyday, and every night, for the last week. It has been ridiculous! Those of you who are aware of our current housing situation know that we are getting, and desperately need, a new roof. However, our roofer needs four consecutive days of good weather, because of the lift he has to have. I have been really kinda concerned that our falling apart roof would leak during this downpour but, it seems to have held up really well. (knock on wood). So, here's my question. I know that people pray for rain and its really good for the farmers and such but, does there come a point when its too much rain for the farmers? I mean, we were driving and the fields looked more like marshes than farms. That's too much rain right? I don't know. Anyway, let me tell you what Emma did to entertain herself during the rain.

That's pretty much all of my bake-ware type stuff. She called it her store. The picture doesn't really even show it all. But, she really had fun with it. And even helped to clean it up after!

We had a playdate the other night and the girls all sat at the table in Emma's room. Four beautiful ladies! I cannot believe how big Kaylee is getting. She had a doctor's appointment today, just her one year check up, and I was astounded! She is literally off the charts for her height. She has always been in the 97th percentile but today, she was above and beyond that. I think its time to move her into some bigger clothes!
Anyway, yesterday was Memorial Day. Sunday morning, we decided to take a quick trip to see Timothy's family. Timothy has been talking about taking Emma camping, or at least sleeping outside with her for a long time. So, he decided to sleep outside with her at his Mom's Sunday night. Emma was so excited! She kept talking about camping and she loved getting ready. We got them all bundled up. (she doesn't look very happy here because she didn't like having to wear a hat)

Then we got them all tucked into bed. Then Linda and I went inside and made bets on how long they would last. We were both wrong. They were only about 5 min. before they came back in. Emma decided that sleeping outside was scary. Poor Timothy. So, he and I camped outside while Linda took the night shift! Thanks for a good night sleep Linda!

Now, I don't know how people feel about naked baby pictures but I'm sorry, my kids were just so cute in the tub last night, I had to share it at least with grandmas and grandpas!

Pay no attention to the filthy tub surround...just another thing that needs to be redone! Well, I know that this was a lot of pictures that aren't exciting. But I kinda made a decision to update every week. So, I will. Even if it is boring.
