Sunday Smiles and Such

Well, this week, the girls have just played and played. They get along better all the time. We had been having a few behavioral problems with Allie, but the last few days, she has been much better, and, all smiles! It has been 17 months since Emma joined our family, and, already 6 months since we've had our sweet Allie home - time is flying!!

Allie is learning more English every day, and we can understand pretty much everything she says now. When we can't, Emma interprets - too funny!! Emma knows her ABCs, can count to 20, knows how to write her first name, and knows her full name and address, and all our first names too - she amazes us every day with the things she says - she talks like a grown up!

In the pics below, the girls are pretending to be asleep in their Dora chairs - they raised their heads up and asked me to take their picture. I guess they are used to us taking them all the time, they figure, "if I can't beat 'em, I'll join 'em!"

Last night, Emma wanted her hair up in piggy tails, and so Allie had to have hers done too. I was pretty surpised, but hers has now grown long enough to have the "water spouts" on top, so we made her two of them too - she loved it, and thought she looked so pretty!

The last couple are just before church this morning - we always try to get a picture of the two of them on Sunday before church.
