Eli and Reese

Everyone asks me how Eli is doing with Reese. Well, here is a video I took of them this week. Eli loves his baby sister and tries to do anything to make her laugh. I am trying to enjoy this stage as much as possible because I know it will not last forever! Although I am sure that Eli and Reese will always have a special bond, I know that the days of sibling squabbles is coming fast!

Arts and Crafts with the McCormicks!

The past few weeks has been miserably hot in East TN! 90+ degree weather and preschoolers don't go too well together and we all end up with cabin fever and HYPER kids! So my neighber Kelly (aka "new Kelly") and I have been pulling out every arts and crafts project and "adventure" trips we can find. The week of July 4th we made flags, fireworks paint pictures, and red/white/blue cookies! YUM! Then this week it was finger painting and waterhose fun. The pics are backwards, but you'll get the idea! Yea for summertime fun and the McCormicks!

Finger paint or face paint? You decide!

Paint, straws, and preschoolers! HA! Kelly is one brave momma!
