Slip and Slide Fun



These were added at the specific request of Grammy--she's missing her baby boy! The kids are enjoying Rylie's new Slip N Slide.
Kai finally said "mommy" on June 24 at 21 months. I was working from home in my bedroom and, as he came in through the front door, he shouted, "Mommy!" Music to my ears! He has started saying more and more words--sissy, wa wa, ju (juice), bus (now all things on wheels are busses), Matt (Emmy says he even uses the final "t"), one, two, three, and the end (ee-eh), thank you, pees (please). He likes to walk around and point out the items the belong to either sissy.

Rylie's 7th Birthday

Emmy made Rylie new headbands
Thanks for my new scooter, Mam-ma Louise!

A treat to go to the pool in the back of a pick-up truck--livin' the South Carolina dream...

Yes, the is Mad with a self-induced black eye from playing on her bed in the middle of night. What will we do about this child?


Here are a few pictures from Rylie's 7th birthday party. We started out at our house for presents and an amazing yacht-inspired pool party cake, then went to the "mushroom pool" in the neighborhood for swimming. Once again, the cake was a sight to see!
