Riley had her first day of swimming classes today. She was by far the youngest, but did great with the bigger kids. She loved showing off how she could jump in, go under to grab the rings, and kick her feet. It was so fun to watch her run off with her class like a big kid. She is growing up so fast. Zoe had a good time just watching. Pretty soon she will be swimming like her sister.
And just because I think my girls are the cutest things ever, here are a few pictures from the park the other day....

Been a long time...

So much for weekly updates. Things have been pretty busy in the Quigley household the past few months. We finally moved into our house the beginning of June. The house buying process was pretty frustrating, but it was worth it in the end. We love the neighborhood. We are right in the town center & can literally walk downstairs to the shops, restaurants, Starbucks, and grocery store. Riley's preschool she will be attending in September is a 5 minute walk away & the same goes for the elementary & middle school. Our neighbors are great & Riley loves playing with the little boy next door. Best thing of all is the weather. Most days are 70 & sunny. I can take the girls to the park for a few hours & not sweat a drop!
About 2 weeks after we moved in, my sister flew out to visit. We had a lot of fun shopping, taking the girls to the beach, and relaxing. I wish she would move out here already! A month after she left, my parents & step-sister, Jenny, flew out. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate for them & they got to experience June gloom in early July. They didn't seem to mind since being able to wear a sweatshirt outside was far better than the heat they had back home. My dad seemed to enjoy the daily trip to Starbucks. It was great to see them. It is hard to imagine the last time they saw Zoe she was barely 3 months old. We miss them a ton, but hopefully it won't be long before we see them again. We are looking forward to having Eddie's parents out in September now.
The girls are getting so big. Zoe is starting to crawl. She can army crawl across the room in no time. If she sees something she wants, there is no stopping her. She is such a sweet baby. I still get comments everyday about her beautiful eyes & how easy going she is. We all just love her to pieces, Riley included. Riley is growing by the second. She loves playing with Zoe & making her laugh. She rides her big girl bike very well now & loves to spin around in her dresses. She enjoys showing off her dance moves and has no problems asking anyone at the park if they want to play with her. She will be going to some swim classes soon & will hopefully get a spot in the preschool by the house starting in early September. Where did my baby go? It will be very bittersweet, but I know she will absolutely love going to school.
Work is going great for Eddie. He really likes his new job. Most days are busy & crazy, but it keeps him going. I am still doing a lot of photography & sewing when I can. I am hoping to get the girls out soon for a little shoot. I will post the pics when I do. Lately, we have been meeting after work at the beach to surf & have dinner. The girls love playing in the sand & it is a nice way to end a busy day.
So that is it for now. Now that things have settled down just a tad, I will hopefully be able to update more frequently now. Until next time....... :)
