Gaven's Big Day

Gaven started swim lessons this morning. It was cut a little short because of the lightening, but he still had a blast. Hopefully we will have better weather tomorrow. This evening Gaven had his first soccer practice. As we all expected, he did great. All of the kids were so funny running around but they all listened to the coach and had fun. We can't wait for next week, Go Penguins!!

Lawn Boy

Our yard guy showed up last night. Mommy and Daddy sat proudly in the driveway and watched as he pretended to mow and edge our front yard. A few neighbors came out to see if he was available for hire.

Beautiful Girl!

Madeline is starting to smaile when she hears my voice. This morning in her swing I was playing "patty cake" with her and she thought it was so much fun. I was able to catch one beautiful smile on camera.

I think they are in love!

Madeline made her first trip to Marmie's on Sunday. She was her usual wonderful self. She only fussed when she was hungry and Marla couldn't wait to feed her. She did leave her mark on Marmie's couch, sorry Marmie it was an accident. Aunt Sandra finally got to meet our littlest angel..... she approved of her great niece.

Picture Day

Chillin' out

Madeline is more alert and awake these days so I broke out Gaven's bouncy seat. I figured she could sit up and be entertained by her big brother. Gaven thought the nature sounds and the toy bar were "totally awesome" as he likes to say. Madeline thought it was OK until she had a melt down when I walked into the kitchen. I guess we will have to save it for another day.

Happy Father's Day!

On Father's Day we went to Uncle Curtis and Aunt Cindy's house. Gaven was so excited to go we were able to use it as leverage for a week. Katie took Gaven swimming all day while we went over the new house plans. He loved playing in the pool with Katie, she entertained him for hours. We were able to coax Gaven out of the pool with a tractor ride with Uncle Curtis. Cindy held Madeline all day. I think Madeline was excited to be there as well, she was awake for most of the visit. We can't wait to come back and visit soon.

Thank you for the great day!!

A Play Day

Playing dress up is a regular activity for us now. Gaven's imagination is growing more and more everyday. He makes us laugh with the things he comes up with.

Swim Time

Ready to go!

Kayla and Sean

We went to Kingwood last weekend to visit Mimi, Poppy, Kayla and Sean. Gaven had a blast. He held his breath and went under water a few times. He was very excited when he figured out he could touch the floor of the pool and walk around. Now he is geared up for swim lessons on June 24th.

Brother and Sister

I was looking through Gaven's baby book with him and came across this picture. I couldn't believe how much they looked alike. They are definitely brother and sister. Here they are at one month old.

One Month Shot!

Madeline turned one month old and celebrated with a shot....but not the fun kind. She was very brave only crying for a second. She is 10 lbs. 5 oz., still 1 lbs behind her brother.
