Summer and Molly

Molly bumped her eye when she fell onto the coffee table while we were visiting Grandpa.
 
Summer and Molly Love to be outside.  We have tulips blooming. Summer and Mommy planted them last fall.

Spring

Spring is finally here and the girls are so happy to be able to play outside more.
Molly enjoys the sand box and Summer is having fun learning to ride her bike.
 
We have decided to start Summer in violin lessons in the fall.  Her pediatrician's wife is a Suzuki violin teacher who also plays in the Asheville symphony.  Summer and I visited a few lessons and Summer is very excited about it.  We'll try it for a while and see if she likes it.  She loves music, so I think she will enjoy it and hopefully be good at it too.
 
Molly has had several weeks of being potty trained.  She still wears a pull up at night but other wise is doing great with it.  She loves being a big girl like her Sissy. The girls wear the same size underwear, in fact, since Summer stared wearing them, she has never needed a bigger size, she has a tiny tushy.

photos of the girls

Wow, a whole year since I have updated!

A friend pointed out that I have not updated for a year. I decided it was time to let everyone know how well the Sims family is doing.

We have had a great year. Molly and Summer have both grown leaps and bounds.
Molly turned 2 in January and her vocabulary has blossomed. She repeats anything we say, maybe not so clearly but we know what she's saying.

Summer is 41/2 and simply cannot wait to go to kindergarten. She is in pre school 3 mornings a week and loves it. She gets up and gets dressed and runs down stairs to say "I'm ready to go"
I am looking into starting her with violin lessons. She loves music and seems interested in all instruments. I thought we would start here and see if she likes it. I also want to begin piano lessons sometime as well.

We are all doing well. I am enjoying being home with the girls. I do work an occasional Saturday or Sunday and I like to catch up with my friends and get out of the house.

We are currently trying to decide what to do for vacation this summer. Brad wants to go somewhere where we can scuba dive, but I am trying to find a place where we don't have to fly with both girls and all their stuff and then all the scuba gear. It's supposed to be relaxing, right?

I will try to post some pictures of my "big" girls.
