Sarah Neeley

Sarah, or Sayah as she calls herself,  is three! 

There are so many things we love about her.  

 Sarah loves to cuddle, and when she is upset she can always be calmed down with a hug. 

She likes to eat carrots with "branch", bananas, daddy's favorite cheese (sharp cheddar), crackers, grapes, broccoli, beans, salad, and smoothies. She LOVES orange juice in the morning with waffles or pampakes. 

She's a good eater and is always so proud when she likes something like Mommy and Daddy. She's always willing to try something new.  

Sarah is such a good helper, and she's tidy. She puts her clothes away and organizes all her toys. She also does something the first time I ask her, and the day-to-day things she doesn't even need  me to remind her. 

Sarah has such a funny sense of humor. She has great one-liners, like one night David asked her to eat her dinner, and she looked at him and said, "Aye, Aye Captain"

She loves to be silly and laugh. She also tends to think potty humor is the funniest.

She adores her sisters. She is loves to play with Leah, and she is so sweet with Anna. 

She loves taking care of her baby dolls, playing polly-pockets and barbies with Leah. 

Her best friend is our next door neighbor Ashlee. She lights up when she sees her, and makes sure Ashlee is well taken care of at our house. 

She is a really good artist and colors as good as, if not better, than Leah. She is very particular about the colors she uses and never colors outside of the lines. 

August Highlights

August brought a new job for David, birthday celebrations for Sarah and me, and our wedding anniversary. 

Auntie Em also came to visit.  

The girls taking Sophie for a Summer walk. Notice Leah is wearing three skirts.  

On he way home, she styled it up a little differently. 

A little light exercising. 

Anna started talking up a storm. 

Popsicle and nonstop play with the neighbors.

More smiles from Anna. 

Dress up with friends. Aren't those just the cutest girls?

Sorting through three to six month clothes.

David started a new job as the IT director for a non-profit organization called America's Charities. 

His office is only 20 minutes away so we meet him usually once a week for lunch. 

Ah, he's so handsome and sweet with his girls. 

Whenever we take Sophie to the park, she gets swarmed by kids. 

July Highlights

David and Liz came to visit along with my parents. They took the girls to the air and space museum, miniature golfing, swimming, and to the library.

My Mom and I were able to get out and shop a bit, and my Dad would take the girls on walks to 7 eleven. They would come home with almost melted Slurpees and huge smiles. 

The rest of the month was spent forcing Anna to take pictures with her sisters. 

Taking care of Sophie who had two teeth pulled. See her shaved leg where they hooked up the IV for anesthesia.She looks really grey in this picture. 

 Hide and go seek with Anna. Sarah, "Mom, can you find Anna?"

Craiglist playhouse find that provided hours of entertainment for the girls. 

 Obsess over every move Anna made and talk to her and kiss her incessantly. 

Family Visit

The girls love their Uncle Dave. 

Dave and Liz's famous chocolate chip cookies. Yum!

 4th of July pre-fireworks show at 6 pm

Double Dutch! Lisa and Liz were the best. Stathis got in on his first try. My Mom is an excellent coach, and my Dad was the best rope "turner" 

Anna's Blessing

Anna's blessing day was just perfect. 

It worked out nicely to have a lot of family attend. Of course, we missed those who couldn't make it, because we just live too far from each other.

David gave a really beautiful blessing. He loves all his girls, and it's so nice to hear that love in the blessing. 

All of us. 

Family of 5!

Here comes the family!

One of the best things about having a new baby, is having family come and help ;)

My parents, brother David and his wife, Liz came to spend some time with us over the 4th of July, and my sister Emily will be coming in August 

The day they arrived, the girls broke out the blow up pool. It was one of the only days when it didn't rain. 

My Dad and Uncle Dave tried to avoid the sun and heat while they supervised. 

The girls are slightly obsessed with Uncle Dave. They literally don't leave his side when he is around, and he and Liz were so sweet to play with them and take them places. They LOVED it. 

Dave and Liz also make really yummy chocolate chip cookies.

They took the girls miniature golfing

My parents also loved seeing the girls and helping out with Anna. 

Sophie also likes to get in on the cuddling action. 

When it wasn't raining, we joined Jenn and her family at the pool. Thank goodness she always invites us to come, because it's a great way to beat the heat!
