Playing with Mommy's Shoes
It's a known fact in our household that the girls love to wear our shoes. They love daddy's flip flops, mommy flats and flip flops. I have made an effort to keep my heels off the ground, because the last thing we need is a broken ankle. Well the other day, I left my 3" black patent heels on the floor and the next thing I saw was Lily walking around in the heels. She was a natural, she must have inherited the heel gene from nana and mommy.
July 4th Weekend
We had a low key, but fantastic Independence Day Weekend. We stayed in town and played around the house. The girls are amazing to watch. They are growing and learning everyday. My favorite thing right now is that they are interacting, playing and constantly looking for each other. It is very common to hear "EMMMMMMMMMA or "LILLLLLLLLLLY" from the girls as they are looking for each other.
I downloaded the Retro Camera application for my phone and I had a lot of fun with this this weekend.
Grandma and Grandpa came over on Monday so that Mommy and Daddy could run some errands. Once they woke up from their nap we played with our new waterpiller on the back porch and took a dip in the pool. Maybe in a few years we will take the girls to see some fireworks. So for now, mommy will just watch them on the tv. A side note, the girls wore these rompers for last 4th of July.

Happy Dada/Dade, Papa, and Grandpa's Day
We had a low key dada/dade day yesterday. The girls (with a little prompting from me) said "appy Dada/Dade Day". It was so cute. We called Papa and they told him "appy papa day". He was very happy to hear that. Grandma and Grandpa came over and they girls with the same prompting said "appy grpa day". We went to lunch and it was very good and the girls had fun. They took a long nap and we relaxed.
The girls are so lucky to have Mike as their dad. He is patient, lovingly reads their books in funny voices, plays on the ground with them, he is a natural in every sense of the word. I look forward to seeing their relationship grow over the years. He is truly smitten with his girls :-)
Speaking of girls who are lucky with their dads, I feel like the luckiest girl to have my dad as my dad. He is caring, fun to be around and would do anything in the world for me. I have fond memories of my dad braiding my hair when I was younger and I can't wait for Mike to do the same with his girls.
I also want to include my brother in this post as he just celebrated his first Father's Day. It is so amazing to see him interact with his daughter. Given the relative short tenure of his dad time, he is doing such a great job!

Tallahassee Jr. Museum
On Saturday we decided to head over the the Tallahassee Jr. Museum. Neither Mike nor I had been there so it was a first for all of us. We were not quite sure what to expect, but we had a lot of fun. We went over to the nature preserve to see the Florida indigenous animals.
After we did the nature preserve, we went over to the 1880's replica working farm. The girls really enjoyed this area because we could get up close and personnel with the animals. It was funny to ask the girls what sound the different animals made and then to hear the animals make the noise.
As we were looking at the horse and mommy was petting it's head, Emma started to say and sign "more" over and over again. We were trying to figure out what she wanted more of and then realized that there was another horse in the pasture and that was the "more". Silly girl.
We had a really fun time. It is so much fun to see and experience new things with the girls. It's like seeing it for the first time. I know that this is just the beginning and it will get better and better for each new experience and I can't wait to see what our future holds.
