Lots to Celebrate



On Friday, LL was 8 months old...hard to believe that in just half that time we'll be celebrating her first birthday! As you can see in the picture, she enjoyed some time in the swing in our front yard...a nice shady spot which offers enough privacy for an 8 month old to skip the clothing (at least on an afternoon when the temperature was close to 100!). Saturday afternoon we went to the Dell Diamond for Trey's company party. The girls enjoyed sitting side-by-side in high chairs (one of LL's first times in one!), though AG's menu was quite a bit more interesting than LL's, and after dinner we went out to sit on the hillside and watch some baseball (the Round Rock Express were playing the New Orleans Zephyrs). Here's a picture of Trey with the girls, which brings me to the next big event of the weekend...Father's Day! All four of us send out Father's Day hugs and kisses to Trey's Dad, Bob (aka Grandpa) and my Daddy, Jim (aka PopPop) and to Trey's grandfather, PawPaw. Today we've had a good time honoring the "Daddy" in our house...the girls are showing him in their own ways how much they love him (which is nothing out of the ordinary!): AG colored a picture for him and has started showering him with "I lovou Daddy!" repeatedly, and LL flashes her dimples at him and grabs his nose and glasses with a little extra gusto! I am thankful to have such a great husband to share this parenting adventure with.

Pool Party





Last weekend found Trey chillin' in the pool with his girls, or at least two of them...as I was hanging out poolside so that all the fun could be captured on "film," and also because there just wasn't alot of wiggle room left! AG discovered she could get a good reaction from her Daddy by suddenly pouring cold water on him, and this soon progressed to a fun "waterfall" game with AG repeatedly dumping a bowl of water over Trey's head (and LL's, since at the time she was on Trey's lap). LL seemed a little tentative at first but soon got warmed up, to the water and the little rubber ducky AG shared with her. She was soon sitting up in the pool by herself and even put her whole face in the water a few times, trying to get to the colorful designs on the bottom.
