We both went to UK and really miss the friends we made while we were there. Fortunately, we still get to see them once in a while (weddings, etc.).Andy & Shannon Raineshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11738370711240663650noreply@blogger.comBlogger146125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3755665389863528140.post-26401880249956655322010-08-27T18:37:00.003-05:002010-08-27T18:39:13.341-05:00are ALL 2 year olds this funny??Today, Mallory asked for some apple juice.

Mallory loves to be our little helper. She loves to be outside. Literally, the first thing that comes out of her mouth when she wakes up is, "I want to go outside."And then when we're outside, she says, "I help." She loves to water the flowers, dig in the flower bed, catch butterflies (and rocks) in her net, and play on her slide.

They glued 2 toilet paper rolls together to make binoculars. (Mallory couldn't quite figure out how to use the binoculars. She kept putting them on her forehead and looking out from below them!) They had 17 pictures of different animals, which they hid through out the house.
