Daughter Duo

Well the last few days have been busy but good. We were trying to squeeze in all we can before the upcoming days. We met cousin Mason and his mom (Aunt Jen) at the Grand Paradise Water Park in Collins on Friday. The weather almost interferred but did not. We all had a good time as the park was not too crowded. I think Mason had the most fun. He could not get enough. He was a very brave 4 year old. He went down the Great Falls a number of times. Evelyn was not quite tall enough and also not quite ready. I was very proud of her though on the water slides in the kids area. She has come such a long way in the water this summer. Her short series of swimming lessons definitely paid off. I know you will wonder where the pictures from the fun are. Well the Kimballs now own a decent camera but forget to bring it. : ( Jen did have her camera and got a few shots so maybe I can add some of her photos to this post. Saturday we atteneded a birthday party for Peyton, one of Evelyn's very good friends from preschool. We then attended a 50th Wedding Anniversery for a family who were part of our church for many years, a busy busy day. Today our pastor took a little break and asked Scott to fill in for him so that made things interesting with him trying to prepare and Miss Emelia always wanting to be in his lap. : ) God took care of it all and all went well. Emelia is continuing to make progress every day. She has understood for quite some time but is beginning to say more every day. One of my favorite things she says right now is chocolate milk. You just have to hear it to appreciate it. She also says more in her prayers. She has had thank you God for quite a while but now says thank you God over and over and then adds thank you God, Ba Ba (Daddy), Mama, Jie Jie (big sister, and Hui Hui(her nick name). It is so sweet. I mentioned the upcoming days, whew, lots of changes are coming. I start back to work tomorrow, Evelyn starfs kindergarten mid week, Scott goes back to work next Monday and therefore, Miss Emelia begins some time with her grandparents. This will be a big change for all of us. Emelia is doing much better with going to the potty. When we have that conquered and are doing better with the language, we plan for her to go to the preschool at Pearl River. I also wanted to mention that the sister issues are better. They still fight but also do so many sweet things for each other. I am pleased with their progress.
