Summer 2012

Ack. I had been avoiding adding to this blog because it takes so painfully long for pictures and videos to upload. (Especially compared to posting photos and videos on Facebook, which is so quick and easy.) But I had all these great pictures I wanted to share, so I at least have added the photos (no patience for the videos). And this time things were even worse. I think I need to come up with a new place to post pictures. But here they are, at least this one last time! Sorry for the rant.

Before the pix - a few bits of news: Eliza has done one poopoo in the potty! Eliza is full-on talking, including starting sentences with "Ummm." Rosa is doing fantastic swimming this summer! Probably other stuff, but too tired to think right now...

So on to the pictures!

Rosa and some school buddies.

Just a sweet pic!
