Tough Choices

An Amber Lager or an IPA ?

Sundays in the park

We've taken to neighborhood walks on weekend mornings. This past Sunday we headed to our neighborhood park, and it seemed that many other families had the same idea.

Though, I noticed the moms were mysteriously absent .... sleeping in, perhaps?

this is what happens if your child wakes at 4am and doesn't go back to sleep

11 whole months!

Happy 11 month birthday Zoe!

We've got a walker on our hands! She actually started walking last Friday, but she's a bit camera-shy so we've been working hard on getting some good video.

So, with the help of Auntie Em,
(drum roll, please)
may I present:

Zoe, the Walker
(a new level of terror in Sophie's world)

Baby Rodeo

This past weekend we hosted baby rodeo! Previously we've gone over to Fletcher's or Quinn's (and Aiden's, back when they were still stateside...)houses, but this time they came over here. Fletcher's parents were able to have a nice quite meal all to themselves. And, along with Quinn's folks, we had a pretty good time entertaining 3 kiddos.

as did Lola

Wolfapalooza 09

Some weekend in July every year Kyle's mother's family gets together to celebrate 'Wolfapalooza'. Though everyone misses Mamaw and Papaw, it's fun seeing the families all grow. This year we were able to introduce Zoe to almost everyone, including Grant, Kyle's cousin's child who's only a month younger. They had fun just hanging out together, and eating together.

There were a few folks missing - Mark was taking summer session at school, and the James family wasn't able to make it because they have a super-new family member. But, we still had to take the obligatory family photo.

Nope, not quite right.

One more time....

All in all, a great weekend. Sure tired someone out!

where's the baby?
