A few months ago, we found a ballet video called "Bella, Dancerella" that Clara has been watching and imitating the ballet moves from. She was so excited when she found a "Bella, Cheerleader" video last week at TJ Maxx! It came with pom poms, a baton, and a cheer mat that she stands on for her cheers. She stands there, mesmerized by the girls on the TV, imitating the cheers and dances. It really is adorable to watch! Joe and I like that she now cheers us on when we are doing our everyday tasks, cheering "Go, Dada! You can do it!!" :)
The firepit made it's first appearance of the summer, and the girls got their first taste of smores. They loved them, of course! It was good practice for our camping trip at the end of July. Now if we can just get them to fall asleep in the tent, we should enjoy the weekend!
Hanging out in Hannah's crib. The girls have started to enjoy "snuggling" together in the morning.....which usually looks like Hannah tackling Clara with a big hug and then laying on her as long as Clara will let her!
Clara got a fast, new tricycle for her birthday, and she loves to zoom around the neighborhood on it. 
Hannah inherited the smaller trike-complete with seatbelt, which is necessary for this daredevil!
Their other favorite outdoor activity is to run laps around the island at the end of the cul-de-sac. What a perfect way to wear them out before bedtime!!!
We celebrated with good friends from our small group bible study. It's fun to watch the number of kiddos continue to grow. We've got quite a busy group now!
Making silly faces with her good friend, Gracie.
