July

Here's the newest addition to our backyard. Jeremy has been working on this since Caraline was born and it looks terrific. Still a few more things to do. Our neighbor asked us if we were building a temple. It's just a shed to store all of our stuff in!


Caraline turned 5 months yesterday. She is such a happy baby. Her newest tricks include rolling over, grabbing toys, and she can move herself 360 on her back if she plays for a while on the floor. So she's ready for break dancing.

Yesterday we welcomed my mom home from a month in Bangladesh. She spent the day at Lafayette Reservoir. Gail and Ben brought their kayaks and the girls got to go for a ride. It was a lovely day. Abigail is sporting a wig that Nani brought from Aunt Linda to add to the dressup collection.

Spent last Saturday at the beach, so Olivia had about 5 tons of sand in her body. At one point she was drinking sandy, ocean water from a puddle further up the beach. Lovely! This adds to her current collection of things she has injested from the ground, including cotton candy from her shoe, peanut shells at As stadium, water from the lily pad area at the zoo, etc. It nevers seems to bother her tummy.

We celebrated Daddys birthday last week. Abigail wanted to go to chuck e cheese, but we settle for burritos at home.

Jeremy watched the girls one Saturday morning while I was at a baby shower. They went to Lowes and built binoculars. Adorable photos!
