Summertime with the McAlpin side of the Family

This is by far one of my most favorite shots of the girls with Grammie Pammie and Pop, they are both looking and smiling....and that can be a rare occasion with 2

little ones to capture in one photo!! They love their grandparents very much! It is really fun to live so close and get to share so much of life together!!

Cousins and sisters are a wonderful thing!! Having Caelyn become apart of our family just 2 years ago has been one of the most wonderful things to ever have happened to us! She is so energetic and full of life, she is my sunshine. And then to have Aliyah and Naomi become part of our families this year, and share that experience with my sister...it couldn't be any better! Right now when you look at the little ones 4 months apart seems like a big difference (although someone has asked us if they were twins)...but when you think of how they will both go to kindergarten the same year and then graduate the same year...how much fun will that be! They very much enjoy babbling with each other and touching each other's face (more so Aliyah trying to pull Naomi's paci out of her mouth :))

I am so glad that the girls are all so close in age, it will be so much fun to watch them grow and change and (hopefully) be close friends...as we very much treasure the friendship we share with the Paradis family!

One of the best things about summer is the chance to get a snow cone from the Snow Biz! Here are some pictures of Aliyah's first "ice cone"! She LOVED it, couldn't get enough!
