What's New?

We had a great day last Tuesday. The weather was so beautiful and Grandma and Papaw Vinny were coming from Missouri, so we had a lot to be excited about.
Jake and I went for a walk in our neighborhood. Jake loves to ride his bike on the trail.
We noticed that there was a mommy duck with 6 ducklings in the pond. So we went home and got some bread. We fed the ducks for a while and then headed over to the play ground.
Jake is getting more and more brave at the playground. He loves to go down the slides and climb the ladders to get up.

Today I helped him climb the rock wall. At first he was pretty reluctant, but once he got started he was a natural. He looked down for the next foot hold and did really well holding on. He really loved that he had conquered the rock wall and hardly wanted to leave it.



Later that day we went and picked up my parents from the airport.
This is my dad, Vince. He's decided to grow his hair out....I lovingly told him I prefered it short. :)
But in the end I must accept that the men in my life do whatever they want with their hair. :)
Emily and Jake really did great with my parents. Since we only see them a handful of times a year, I never know how warm Jake will be. He really missed them when we were gone. He had a hard time in the car on the way home last night because he thought that Papaw Vinny and Grandma would be waiting for us at home. That broke my heart. We'll just have to have another visit soon, I guess.

You could clean every dust bunny in your house with that fro! Girl is getting so big, and cute! Jakey is getting big too. Him and E will love playing on the equipment at Bartlett together when you come back. So when is that again?
