Look Who's 4! (Already)

It's hard to believe it, but Lydia turned 4 this weekend.  She has been waiting for her birthday to come since Lucas' in April.  She was beside herself all day long.  She and I made the cake.  She decorated it with plenty of sprinkles.   She is just so proud and tells me she's big now.

She tore thru her presents so fast, I could barely take pictures.  She was a blur.  She got a LeapPad, which she is calling her IPAD.  She got tons of other great gifts and really had a wonderful day.

And just a few pictures of one of my furry kids.  Emmy went to the groomer 2 weeks ago and I asked them to cut her.  (I usually don't get the poms cut, but it's been so hot.)  When I picked her up, her hair was super short.  They said she had a lot of matting and had to cut it.  I was worried Emmy wouldn't like it, but when I got her home, she went running around the yard like a new puppy (I think she's 9 this year).  It's so cute.  She even looks like a puppy to me.
