Our Road To Rosie: More Fun in the Sun!

We continue to enjoy the summer each and every day. It seems like we are doing something fun, big or small, almost every day lately. Tia's been taking swimming lessons again and really enjoying it. She's learning how to dive and do different strokes. She did her first "canon ball" off the into the deep end the other day and was so tickled about it. We've been going to the spray park and other parks and today we all went to Lake Elmo, or as Tia calls it, "the beach". Not exactly, but it's as close as we will get for Montana, so we'll take it. We had a great time! And Rosie loved it, too.
We've recently had a barbeque with our friends (the picture of the 4 girls in a "stack") and our cousins were just here from Great Falls (the other picture of 4 girls) -- we had a great time with all! We are so blessed with so many wonderful relatives and friends. We love any time that we can spend together. The picture of Tia and Rosie in the cupboard is how they were entertaining themselves the other day while I was making dinner. They were having so much fun, it was precious.
The girls are doing good. Rosie is still sleeping great and eating great, but she did just decide about 2 days ago that she no longer wants fruit of any kind??? She shakes her head "no" and wants to put it on the floor. We have no idea what has changed because she has loved it ever since we got her. We'll see if she changes back, but for now it's a mystery. Tia is loving her very much, but we are still adjusting to her no longer being the only child. It's been challenging for all of us, but we are taking it one day at a time and doing the best we can. We know this is a big transition time for our family, so we are trying to be patient and somehow keep some humor during the tough times. And we're praying a lot! :-))
