We all took part in the Boomerang Express VBS at GBC this past week.  I spent a few of the days home sick and the rest in a four-year-old class, Josh took a gazillion pictures, and Elise did all kinds of fun things with her class.  Charlotte made it through, but a whole week without a decent morning nap was rough!

Charlotte is seven months old!  Where has the time gone?  We had a great visit with Papa and Emma at the beginning of the month.  It’s so much fun to watch your own kids enjoy their grandparents.  The big event in Elise’s life this month has been potty training.  Mommy had enough of pull-ups, so we made the big switch to underwear.  Elise caught on quickly and after only a week has been accident-free (excluding sleeping).  She very much wants to do it all herself and only when she wants to, and once I quit asking her to “try” and just let her go when she felt she needed to, we started getting along great!  Charlotte started sitting up independently this month and loves being part of the action.  She likes to babble (her favorite ah-da-da).  She’s a bit of a mommy’s girl, especially when she’s tired.  She’s enjoying solid food more and getting more into her tummy instead of on her bib.  She is sweet and snuggly, fun and spunky!
