Happy Father's Day...

I was lucky to grow up with an amazing Dad, a wonderful Grandpa & step-Grandpa and the best uncle's around.  They were such great role models and protectors for me.  I'm so thankful that my girls have such loving and strong men in their lives.  Happy Father's Day to all!!

The Norfolk Comedy Festival was this weekend, the Blumkin's came up and joined us for several shows and our girls and Ari had some great babysitters to play with.  It was a weekend full of later nights then we're used to (On Friday night we were up until 1am!!...I can't remember the last time that happened!)

Today we got some things done around the house, then we all took a nap and finished the day off with a swim and dinner at Grandma & Pop's.  It was Gracie's first swim, I expected a little fussing, especially because I woke her up to get in the pool, but she seemed to really like it.  Maggie swam all the way across the pool (the width) and is tall enough to touch in the shallow end.  Where did our little girl go?

We did a little family weed pulling this morning, Maggie was the job manager! She calls
those gloves her "yardening gloves"



Happy Girl!!

 

Talking to Grandpa on the phone, we're in real trouble when she's a teenager!



Maggie thought it would be a funny joke to sneak a bow in daddy's hair while he was
taking a nap.  Daddy was a good sport and pretended to sleep through the whole thing.

 

Gracie's first swim.



Flying Maggie!

 

Gracie got did so well with her first dunk that we did it a second time.  When Maggie
was a baby we passed her back and forth because neither of us wanted to be the one to
dunk her, funny thing about your second baby, it's much easier.  Actually today we
each did it with her once.  She did great. Hopefully she'll be another water baby like big sister.

 

oh the goggles!
