July 4th and Other Stuff

We had a nice 4th of July this year.  We did a lot of NOTHING!  Being only two days after Luke's return from Africa, he was exhausted and wanted to relax.  Well, his three girls did not mind relaxin with our man!

The most excitement the day held was when Jael and daddy went outside and rhrough the sprinkler.  Jada enjoyed watching them out the window now that she has figured out how to pull herself up on anything she can grab hold of.

It's been fun to see Jael and Jada's relationship develop.  Jael takes pride in helping Jada "feel better" and entertain her.  She also loves to help get items Jada needs from around the house.  I guess I should enjoy that now because I'm sure it won't last!

Jada thinks Jael is hilarious!  She loves to pull her hair, grab her mouth and try to take whatever Jael's playing with.  The sibling rivalry has already begun as Jael is typically not willing to give Jada what she has.

The picture to the right is one we staged for a sermon Luke was doing.  He briefly mentions Jael from the Bible and decided to show a picture of Jael symbolizing Judges 4.  People got a kick out of it and we got a kick out of taking it.  She hammed it up!
