Evangelizing

The other day, Tessa's report from daycare noted that she sang songs for the teachers in the morning. When I asked Tessa what songs they were, she told me "Twins Win" and "Glory to God in the forest." Highest, Tessa. Glory to God in the highest. :) We shouldn't have corrected her.

Fourth of July

Road trip to Minnesota!

We went spelunking (kind of) with Mima & Kory! Tessa asked us if there was an alligator in the cave. Of course, we said no. Just moments later, the tour guide pointed out a rock formation they call "The Alligator." She proved us wrong (and will never believe anything we say ever again). After the guide finished explaining something, she would ask if there were any questions. Tessa chimed in with a polite, "No!"

She has gotten really good at climbing these walls.

She has also gotten really good at posing for pictures. Aunt Tam makes the best cards! We had a cookout at the Schoppers' with the whole gang and went to see the fireworks later.

Reading Da-da-da-da-da Dora!

The fun just doesn't stop!

We drove Kory to the train station in Winona. Farewell!

All aboard! Tessa asked if we were going to get in trouble for climbing on this train. Pa-SHA! She must get that from Daddy...

 Tessa loves Lacey.

All tuckered out. And rightly so.

Big enough to strum a guitar

Big enough to push a baby in his stroller
