The end of June brought us friends from Texas. You know, those friends that you can go a year without seeing and after 5 minutes together its like we've never been apart? Yeah, those friends came to see us! : ) We had a great time visiting spots in DC that we haven't seen. The 5 days they were here passed much too quickly and we were all sad as they pulled out of our driveway! P. Family, we love and miss you guys!
Swim season then began in all its fury! Sarah and Emily both swim every day and have weekly meets. It is a fast and furious 6 week season. We love it!
Sarah is swimming butterfly a lot this year. She is a fast flier!
Sarah's relay team made All Stars this year. They are ranked 7th out of 102 teams in this league. They will swim in the All Star meet on Wednesday.
Anna Grace enjoys swim meets because it means she gets candy.(I have to do something to help her get through 2-3 meets a week!) On this particular morning it was HOT! So she found a bit of shade to enjoy her fruit snacks.
Emily is enjoying swimming the individual medley this summer. It is a 100m swim with butterfly, back, breast and freestyle. She had a great race last week!

Emily with her best friend, Jordan. This is who gets Emily through all those practices!And the puppy.........
Emily is the proud mama to a 9 week old Cavachon named Amy. We got her on July 5 and she is spoiled rotten! She weighs 4 pounds right now and should get up to about 13.
Finally, did someone say that girls with Rett syndrome can't climb? Because Lauren didn't get that memo and she is now climbing over the gate at her bedroom door when she doesn't want to take a nap! LOVE IT! Yes, even though it makes our lives harder! We LOVE it when Lauren does something she's not "supposed" to do! She is our little superstar!
Avery will be in the next post. She didn't get a puppy and she isn't on the swim team....but she IS at a camp this week for teens adopted from China. I am certain we will have lots of pictures from her week to post next time! Until then......

Love the update and pictures! Tell Emily I love her curls, too! :) We've been contemplating a little dog like Amy - fill me in on the details if we can get one like her! :) Miss you and hope we can get together soon! Love, Rox.
ps - congrats on the swimming and climbing feats! It totally makes me smile to see Lauren doing what others say she can't! We serve an awesome God!
Enjoyed the update on the girls! Sounds like summer has been busy for you. I can't wait to see your post from Avery's time at camp! Blessings, Petrie
