Apparently Shila was tired during lunch.

After lunch we took advantage of the beautiful weather and went for a quick scooter ride.

Keaton slept.

Watch out... a new camera app for my phone.

We made a totally unnecessary treat today from a cooking blog that I occasionally follow.  Oreo and Peanut Butter Brownie Cakes.  It was a fun idea, but I don't think we will be making them again anytime soon.  The recipe consisted of sandwich cookies, peanut butter and brownie mix.  Sugar overload!  Does it help that I used all organic ingredients?  Unfortunately, I don't think so.  ;o)

Now that Keaton is sitting up in her chair, it opens her up to another level of play with her sisters.  They are playing school and Keaton is sitting at her desk.

Ellary participated in the Fund Run as a fund raiser for Alpharetta Elementary School.

A quick hug for sister.

It was a hot day.  I was impressed with how many laps the little pre-k kids ran.

Keaton is getting so big.  I have struggled with getting out the bebe pod, and letting her sit in it, because I don't think I am ready for that stage just yet.  In the end I finally dug it out of the basement because she is always trying to sit up on her own.  She had fun, but thankfully, she isn't ready to start sitting up on her own quite yet.  Don't fault me if I push her down when she starts trying to walk, I just am trying to take in every baby moment I can before they all slip away.  ;o)

Ellary started her new tennis class today.  It became apparent quite quickly that this class wasn't the right fit for her.  We stuck around for the next session, which was 6 -7 year olds, and it was a perfect fit.  We are hoping that the rec center will let her move up, even though she doesn't make the age requirement.

Daddy was able to sneak out of work early to meet us at the tennis courts.

Bedtime.
