Summer 2009 Updates

Kids always grow up entirely too fast. Gigi is now 3 1/2 and a smart little girl. Claire is 2 and our little charmer, and our sweet boy Deacon is almost 6 months old and is already trying to sit up and crawl.

Is there a way to make them slow down a little so we can enjoy them just a little longer?



loves having her picture taken



begging for another cupcake



nursing her baby (she even burps baby after!)



she knows we can't resist that face



he tries to sit up by himself and ends up falling over



rocking on his hands and knees and mad because he isn't going anywhere

Backyard Swimming

We recently bought a little pool for our backyard, and the girls love playing outside in the water- really, what kid doesn't! Last week they had friends over to play and I couldn't help snapping a few pics of the cuties.

No, this isn't the pool!

Somehow they both ended up in the bucket instead of the pool...

Dancing Girls

Dance, dance Baby! These girls are so much fun!

Pflugerville Lake

One of our favorite activities this summer has been to go swimming at the Pflugerville Lake that is located 5 minutes from our home. Our friend Julie (or as Claire says, Miss Jewey) will bring her dogs and meet us for some splashing good fun. The dock that we normally go to is only 2 feet deep at its deepest, and the girls love being able to be independent, and I love being able to sit and relax and watch them play.

Oh, happiness...
