James' First Day of Children's Day Out

Well, James began his children's day out program today. It was a sad moment for Mom to drop him off. He did well...at first. He walked himself in and then realized that Mom didn't follow. I saw him through the window standing at the door crying. Talk about pulling at your heart strings! I cried in the car but all in all it went well. He is such a big boy!

First Day of 5th Grade

Well, today Lyndsey returned to school to begin her 5th grade year. Last night she wasn't too excited but once morning rolled around she was ready to go.....socialize I am sure! She looked so beautiful as she walked out of the door to catch a ride on her first day with a friend. Of course little brother was there to see her off!

Playing in the rain....

While we were outside working in the flower beds, a rain shower hit. And what better time for the kids to play in the rain. At first James said it was a "No,No!" to play in the rain, but once he saw Big Sister playing he joined in. They had a blast!

Lyndsey & Uncle Craig goofing off!

As I said earlier, Lyndsey and Uncle Craig love to play! The night before Craig and Dora left, Lyndsey and Uncle Craig were goofing off big time....she even got him to try this hilarious dance (and yes, I got it on video). She really had a wonderful time and misses them both already.

They are all together!

Finally an updated picture of Byron, Craig and Lynn all together. While Craig and Dora were visiting Lynn joined in the fun before flying off to Canada. It was so nice to have them all in the house together!

A Visit From Uncle Craig & Aunt Dora

It had been quite a while since we last saw Uncle Craig and Aunt Dora - who are from New York. They came to visit for 5 days and we loved spending time with them. Lyndsey and Uncle Craig are two peas in a pod! They played hard and had a great time. We all went to Galveston and played on the beach, although the tide was terrible. James did really well and began to get comfortable in the water with Dad. We also enjoyed a day in Kemah riding rides and walking around. The last night everyone was here we left the kids at home with a sitter and enjoyed a wonderful meal out thanks to Lynn (G-Pa).

Cookie Time

Lyndsey loves to bake cookies.....and lick the beaters, bowls, spoons...whatever is available. Apparently James loves it too! As you can see, they both were enjoying the batter very much!

Bath Time

James loves his bath....and so does Big Sister! Lyndsey got tired of sitting on the outside of the tub and playing with James so off to get her swimsuit on she went. They had a blast blowing bubbles and making bubble faces.
