Yesterday was a fun and busy day. We had our friends the Solts spend the night on Saturday (they just got into town from Florida) and then we all packed up and went to the State Fair on Sunday. Ben and I were excited since we didn't get to go last year (because of the twins) so this year we've been looking forward to it!
All three girls did great. There was so much to see and while I think that Maia had the most fun, Lily and Juliette didn't know where to look next since they've never experienced anything quite like the fair before.
Maia got to work on a farm (she planted some seeds, fed the cows, collected an egg from the chickens, ride a tractor, etc.) and then she got to sell her goods to the grocery store and buy something with the money she earned. She got to pet some baby animals (a lamb, calf and a day-old chick) and her and daddy got to go down the Giant Slide together. We looked at the horses and cows, ate a lot, walked a lot and just had a good time.
Not much else is new. Juliette is talking a lot - she can repeat things you say fairly well (the first syllable anyway) and is starting to communicate more non-verbally too. She likes to point and shake her head when you hand her something she didn't want.
Lily is close to walking but not there yet. She can take a few steps by herself and I can hold onto one of her hands and she'll walk that way so I think we're not far now.
Maia turns 3 in a few weeks so I'm trying to figure out her birthday party - I think we're finally going to give her a "big girl bed" since she's still in her crib! She has never tried to climb out so I think it'll be a good transition time for her.
I will post some recent photos soon. Everyone is doing well! Our Early Intervention teacher comes over tomorrow so it'll be great to see her. We took the summer off.

Glad to hear you all are doing well! I am in the midst of planning our son's 3rd birthday as well! Isn't it amazing how fast three years can go!?!
I can't wait for you to post some recent photos of all your girls! I'm sure the twins especially have gotten so big since the last time you posted pics!
