Here in Texas

I thought I would post some pictures of a typical day here. It's kind of monotonous, but that's what we thrive on. We go to the Y every morning and have quiet time after lunch. We eat dinner and then wait for Daddy to arrive home which is when the real party begins. Charlie's favorite thing to say is, "Pool, Daddy?" over and over again. He knows that we can go to the pool with Daddy after he gets home from work (that's when it's not as blazing hot!). Meg is learning to swim all by herself, we are very excited for her. It's hard to get pictures of it though since we are in a man-on-man formation in the pool!

So, these are pictures of Meg with her favorite thing: her babies; Charlie and Bode playing the drums from Aunt Heather; and Charlie in his chair from Grandma Rayburn, his favorite lounging spot.

UTAH for the 4th of July!

We had a great time in Utah with Kate's family. We did a lot of playing outside in the baby pool and the new slip and slide. As you can see, Tom is the champ. Everyone enjoyed going out on the boat. Meg was brave enough to ride in the tube. Luckily Uncle Brandon showed mercy on her and did not go crazy like he did with Tom and Jack and then Tom and Colin. We ate at a lot of great places Cafe Rio, Chadders, Cheesecake Factory, and Los Hermanos. Colin and Jack did a great job babysitting. We saw some great fireworks on the 4th at Thanksgiving Point, easily better than red, white and boom. We hope to make it out there again sometime. Katie and Brandon are great hosts!
