Hi again!

Mommy -Well, we are still sad around here because we only have 1 grandpa now. We are trying to get back to normal - it isn't easy. Yesterday TJ went with Daddy to parade the W.'s... SW and Mommy went to GR to be with Grandma F. so she wouldn't be alone on the first holiday since Dad passed. At least SW was able to make it a nice day for Grandma. He sat on her lap for a little while and was a happy boy. :)

Anyway here are some pictures and some updates on what we are doing:

Here is TJ "stylin". Doesn't she look like she is struttin' on the catwalk? She is starting to have opinions about what she wears. Look out world, who knows what THIS 2 year old will think of as good clothing combinations! There are also frequently pink sunglasses and a purse along with the vest & the hat! they all match for the most part at least.










Here is the new laptop after SW's special modifications. Daddy was surprised that a 14 month old would damage a "Sturdy keyboard" like the one on a keyboard. Can you see Mommy rolling her eyes from there? Luckily Dell was kind enough to send out a replacement for free, since it is still under warranty. Mommy got to learn a new skill she didn't want to - keyboard replacement. Can you believe that a small plastic clip was broken on the key and the ENTIRE keyboard had to be replaced? Isn't that just crazy? We are keeping the old one for parts, in case this kind of thing happens again.


We finally got some warm weather! Here we are in the pool. SW's favorite thing to do is to is to scoop water out of the pool and dump it al over the place. TJ likes to splash in the water once it warms up a bit! The pool is naturally a favorite in the back yard! When A. & E. come over to play they have fun in it too! Mommy puts it so it is in the sun first thing in the morning, and by afternoon when it is HOT, it is in the shade. She is soooo paranoid about sunburns. Just because she had lots of them doesn't mean we will!

Here is SW with his favorite pool toy, the watering can. Sometimes he will play with other pool toys, but mostly it is this or one of the other 2 that are in the pool. The boats and stuff are okay, but they apparently don't hold a candle to a watering can!












TJ dumping water down the slide. We tried to use it as a slide into the pool, but TJ didn't care for that - not one bit! Maybe by the end of the season. In the background you can see the big red car! I got that from my cousin Z. Thank you Z.! The other car is still fun too, but it is no big red car!

Thank you for checking in on us! See you again soon!
