Fun promised pictures

Some cute photos of the girls...

Samantha and Annabeth at The Aquarium, I think it was love at first sight.
This is what you get when you ask a 2 year old to smile for the camera.
"All done"
Sweet, sweet baby - at least that is what I was telling myself last night at 10, 12 - 1, 2:30, 4 and 6:45. I love teething and reflux!!
Note the hand chewing, this is after tylenol, teething tabs, and some gum rubbing from Mama. Let me tell you, the drool is fabulous.

Busy summer days

We have had some fun these last couple of weeks. Sean's aunt, uncle and cousins from Colorado came to visit for several days. Our outings included a trip to the galleria, the aquarium, and Lake Conroe. We were quite the sight with Savannah wanting to run everywhere (typically with an adult trailing her yelling "slow down"), Annabeth - the sweet trooper that she is - out way past her bedtime and having a meltdown or two, and Samantha's service dog in training, Dillon (an 11 week old black lab). I wonder if the businesses we patronized will ever be the same again. Nevertheless, it was fun to see them all.

We also have a gazillion family birthdays to celebrate this month (read: we are now broke). So, a collective "Happy Birthday" to Amy, Pat, Derrick, Grandma, Katie, Mom, and Matt.

Finally, Annabeth had her 4 month well child visit today. Here is my issue with the "well child" visit. You bring in a perfectly happy child and take home a crying mess, not to mention the baby. Ahem, I digress. She officially turned 4 months old yesterday. Annabeth is 13.5 lbs and 24.25 inches tall. She is in the 34th percentile for weight and 35th percentile for height. So, unlike her sister, she is quite proportional right now. She has some fabulous chubby thighs and an adorable budda belly. I promise to start taking more pictures soon. I have been lax.

Good times at The Wiggles concert

We went to see The Wiggles in concert on Sunday evening with Meg and Christy. We had so much fun. Here are some of the highlights...


Savannah eagerly awaiting the concert, she is a little unsure of where we are or why we are there.
Savannah and Mama having some fun one-on-one time at the concert.
The concert begins!
Christy and Meg
The girls were dancing in the aisles by the time the concert was over.

Scenes of Summer in Houston

Scenes of summer in Houston (read: lots of time inside as it is way too hot to venture outside when not in the exact vicinity of a pool)...

Annabeth enjoying the saucer
Savannah taking in the movie Annie with Sophie.
Ally is riveted by the scenes in Annie with Sandy the dog. She is a big admirer of his work.
Daddy's girls vying for his attention (although this picture is missing the two dogs and I, make no mistake we compete with the best of them for Sean's time and attention!!)
