Yes, that's me you hear crying...

Uugh, school starts tomorrow. Two teacher days, then the students come. Don't get me wrong. I have a great job. Heck, I even like it most days. But I do love my girls more. I will miss them so much. Luckily, they'll be going to a good friend's house for some fun and lovin'.

Blech, school starts tomorrow. Here are some pics to cheer me (and you, now) up.


Here the girls are being silly in their "princess" dresses. (Princess according to them - but I agree!)


Awww, here, they're just plain pretty!


This was our first ever board game type game. We played "Memory". It was big fun, actually. Laney caught on pretty quickly, but would get irritated if she didn't get a match. So she'd turn her two cards over, then quickly grab a third to see if it matched! Abby caught on too, but at first she always turned over the same two Laney did. SURELY they became matches in the 0.67 seconds since Laney flipped them over! Ahh well, at least we practiced taking turns!

-----------------

One cute little Olympic side note. First of all, the opening ceremonies were AWESOME! We taped it, yup, VHS style. Hope the girls can still play that when they get older. But anyway, tonight, gymnastics were on. The girls watched for about a minute (the floor exercises) and immediately dropped down and started doing tumbles and dancing. I couldn't get the video camera out fast enough, DANG! Or as they say in China, DANG!

Yeah!!!!! I will have my email buddy back now that summer is over. OK, I know it's more important for you to spend time with the girls but I do kinda miss you in the summer.

Now that you will be away from the girls like 8 hours a day that gives you 8 hours to start thinking about a couple little boys to go with the girls.

The dresses are very pretty. They do look like princesses and I'm sure they are. :-)

Maybe you'll have some future Olympians.
