Daddy's Goofballs

Heeeeere's Annie

BBQ with our buddies

We managed to get the Quincy Street guys and their families all together one weekend despite our busy schedules. The girls splashed in the pool and had a great time together while the babies caught up on the playmat.

Sunday with Grandmemere

What a productive Sunday. Daddy and Poppy fixed the patio while Emma and Memere made a beautiful garden in the front yard. Meanwhile, Annie and Murphy kept Grandmemere entertained inside.

Not long now ...

It's tough being a baby who has to watch all the fun things that Emma is doing all day from the same spot. At least, that's what we think Annie is saying to herself, as she is so intent on crawling.

Love these girls!

Theater in the Woods

Great puppet show!

Picnic at Wolf Trap

See how her garden grows

Look at our very full garden! We're stocked to the gills with herbs, and our cukes, tomatoes and peppers are getting bigger and closer to ripening. Emma has gotten especially good at picking the weeds as well as keeping the garden watered.

First cuke ready to eat!

Our little gardener.

Hello summer tomatoes! Can't wait to put you on a sandwich!

Herbs are going strong!

Happy Independence Day!

We spent the 4th with at Memere and Poppy's beach house. While hurricane Arthur pushed the fireworks to the 5th, it left some gorgeous beach weather in its wake.

Some cute videos

Emma loves to sing to Annie, and Annie in turn loves to show her excitement and appreciation!

Anne has really started to love her doorway jumper. Look at her go!

Summer fun

We've had a few fun playdates with our new church playgroup that meets Monday mornings and we've been trying to keep cool. Summer has definitely arrived!

Bathing beauty

Whoa, 6 months?!

We've hit the half year mark with Anne and she is so different from just a month ago. She's eating solids, rolling and moving all over the place, and trying to get into everything. She's such a happy girl and she loves her big sister.

Anne loves to cuddle with this bear pillow

Two teeth through!

Anne ready for takeoff!
