Five Years Old

Kylie Sophia {divine beauty & wisdom}
She is the first bright light in our lives...
we are humbled and deeply thankful that God chose to give her to us.

Kylie's birth-day turned into a birth-week - and it was a glorious week!

 

On her actual birthday our planned trip to the zoo got rained out.  So instead, we opted for her first mani/pedi!

Kylie really enjoyed the massage chair and Avery remained very focused on what was happening to her feet.



That evening we went down to the farm so Philip could finish a little building project. 
Meanwhile the girls enjoyed several games of Go-Fish with Gan.

Friday brought ear piercing!  Kylie has wanted to do this for a while and she was a CHAMP!

Then this little one climbed up in the chair...

...and she actually did it!  No tears : )

They look super cute and enjoy telling everyone they meet that "it really hurt!"

Saturday Kiki & Pop came bearing gifts.  We got a large pool for the backyard and a darling summer wardrobe!

By the end of the weekend we were all pooped out.  The girls spent Sunday afternoon watching a movie with Dad.

Spring Has Sprung

Easter

Well, spring is closing and summer is upon us and I have been a little delinquint in documenting the girls about their business.  Last month we listed our house, so we spend most of our time keeping it clean for showings!  Additionally, April found us visiting the Atlanta Dorrs, whom we love so dearly. 

May has brought the end of Ky's pre-school year, as well as her soccer season.  She started playing goalie and really gets the concept!  Her 5th birthday is later this week - sometimes we find it hard to believe 5 years have passed since she joined us, yet sometimes I struggle to remember life without her.  She is a very special person - I would recognize this even if I weren't her mother.  

Other than all that, we are looking forward to a fun summer with lots of pool days and time spent with good friends!  Birthday pics will probably be up next week!!
