July Update

Okay, so I might be just a tad late...again! We had a busy July that started off with our trip to Hayward (see previous blog). Things have calmed down some since then, but have still been hectic. We came home in time to get to meet two new little additions to our circle of friends; Eryn Olivia Schwendeman was born on July 8 and Megan Michele Renshaw was born on July 15. It is always cool to get to hold the itty-bitty newborns and get our baby fix!

The girls have been doing well. Mikaiya is...well...3. Whoever said 2 is terrible was a liar! 2 was nothing compared to 3! We still adore our little angel, but she has learned new and exciting ways to try every last ounce of patience we have on a daily basis. She still amazes us with how smart she is. She officially moved into Pre-School this month and is mastering all of the new skills she is learning at school. She is becoming an expert with scissors and is getting really good at tracing letters. She can even write several of the letters in her name on her own.

Braenna has quite the little personality. It is her way, or no way. She is into everything these days and is now a pro at the whole walking thing. She loves to explore the cabinets and climb the stairs. We have now had to put a gate up at the bottom of the stairs, which we never did for Mikaiya. Funny how different they are! Braenna is also talking a lot now. She has down several "B" words now like book, baby, bottle, and ball. She also is saying NO and daddy (not da-da) as of the last couple days.

Well, that's probably enough for now. Here is the link to the July pictures:
