Dress Your Child Up in Oatmeal and Denim

We bathe. We eat. We swing. We go to parties.

Works for me.

This is where we spend our time.

This is the way we bathe,...

...and this is why we bathe

We're trying to get her to open her eyes, but it ain't easy

She seems to like the Exersaucer, but...

she's still trying to get used to the swing.

Catching up

It's kinda ridiculous to see how much fun you can have when you're not working. That was mean, wasn't it? Sorry working folks. Also, my sincerest apologies to those of you who have foolishly bought or rented property far from rivers. See, now that sounded sarcastic. Wow, I just can't stop rubbing it in today. By the way, have you seen how cute my daughter is? That's just gloating. I'd better go.

Please take the following pictures of my ridiculously cute daughter and her extended family as an apology for my atrocious behavior up above.

Okay, I'm almost dry. Gotta go swim.

Pictures from the Girl's (+1) Retreat

Rowan's mom's friends came from far and wide this weekend to bask in Rowan's radiance. They will argue that they also came to see Stacey, but we know better by now. Thanks to our kind hosts and to Erin for the prettiest baby dress in Tejas or any other country.
