Summer begins!

Summer has gotten off to a mostly slow and lazy start. June 9-12 was our church's Vacation Bible School (an institution of Southern summertime!), so that week was crazy and harried, but otherwise, we've just been taking it easy. Trips to the park, the pool, the gardens, and spending time with friends have been highlights.

Catherine is enjoying taking gymnastics this summer with one of her best buddies. They have had so much fun! I am amazed at how her little body has changed and developed. She has gotten so much stronger and more coordinated! She is loving it.

We also have been working this month on potty training Caroline. We did a week-long bootcamp style potty training with her at the end of May and she is doing pretty well! She is 100% potty trained for peeing and pretty much not potty trained at all on the other bodily function. I suppose it will come, but it has been a little frustrating. Can I just say that size 2T panties are just about the cutest thing ever???

A highlight of June so far was a day trip to downtown Chattanooga. We met up with my dear, dear old friend Betsy (my potluck roommate freshman year at A&M) and her sweet family. She has a little girl who will be two in the fall and a little boy on the way! It was just wonderful to see her. I wish it could have lasted longer!
