Historical Society


both photos courtesy of the Virginia Historical Society

I finally got the pictures of us from the Virginia Historical Society that they took back in the fall when we went to see one of the original Declaration of Independence broadsides. It's in the most recent newsletter too and the girl that took the picture of us is going to send me a copy so I can see it in print. Neat! The museum really was a lot of fun and I'd like to go back sometime.

Reagan's shoes




Reag loves to wear shoes now, not her own, everyone elses and they cannot match. She's always wearing two different shoes. The purple crocs in this pic are infamous, this particular one is missing and cannot be found. The right shoe we have but the left all we have is this picture. She also loves glasses and hats, Payton would never keep either on but Reagan will walk around forever wearing the glasses.

Dance pics





Payton had her group dance pictures today, all the little girls looked so cute dressed up. I didn't buy the package of pictures because they were so expensive! But I'll get some for everyone. Here's a few I took of her in the yard outside. I told her to pose and this is what I got :)

Mom...Mom...Mmmooommm!!!



This is what Reagan likes to yell at me, especially in the car. Waiting for me to say, Yes Reagan what do you want to tell Mommy? She does it loudly and repeatedly wanting to make sure I hear her. I also think she wants to make sure she gets her words in over her sister who likes to answer for her. Reagan really pays attention to Payton, so much so that if you ask Reag how old she is, she'll attempt to hold up 4 fingers and will say proudly "Four!" She's heard Payton say that just a few times!

She's stringing a few words together now. On Friday she told Gail "Ayla licked me" and when Gail told me Reag repeated it for me to hear, so proud of herself. Also much to Tung's dismay, she knows Sno Shack and what it is. He said it's pretty sad when your almost 2 year old knows how to say Sno Shack and what it is. Only the best snowcones ever! I'm teaching her early :)

She's also been getting more afraid of things recently. All the thunderstorms we've been having, she's been getting upset and crying, and she got upset when Tung mowed the grass this morning, she was scared of the lawn mower. So interesting how the fears develop when she wasn't bothered by these at all before. She laid on Tung while we sat in the garage tonight and watched the rain because you could hear the thunder in the distance and it scared her. Such a sweetie.
