Crawling, Two Teeth, Holding His Own Bottle, and Standing Up in His Crib

All in a day's work for William.  He is lightning fast and oh so sweet.

I crawl, no big deal.

I came in his room last night and he was holding on to the side, standing straight up.

It rained on Saturday morning!  Edie took advantage.

Back from Maine

William did yoga every morning before breakfast

and Edie caught up on her summer reading.

 

One tooth, 27 to go.

Lots of teething.  William has a tooth showing!  Edie started school last week.  Happy and sad about it.

She didn't know I was there.  Here she is walking into school from the playground.  I wanted to cry.

My Babies...

These pictures are from last weekend.  I'm a little behind.  My job responsibilities more than doubled this week so the blog continues to suffer.  Get in line blog.



Poolside

Well we have moved to Northmeadow.  It's a beautiful townhouse in Lake Highlands.  We had hardwoods put in throughout, new paint, new window treatments, several new built-in bookshelves, a new, very hip and modern light fixture over the dining room table and we are ready to roll.  Everyone has transitioned smoothly.  Northmeadow, the way life should be (if you can't be in Maine).



White Rock Stables

Liz, this is for you.  As a child/preteen Liz had a fascination with horses that resulted in daily trips to WRS.  One such trip resulted in a small finder bender.  I remember being in the kitchen when mom took the call from Dad saying that he'd hit someone in the stables parking lot or he'd been hit.  The scene in the kitchen wasn't pretty.  There were no cell phones then; I assume Dad drove to Duncan's Liquor to make the call.  Anyway....

I have been taking Edie to WRS every Sunday morning while William naps, for about a month now.  It's a beautiful place in the heart of Dallas.  It's completely surrounded by trees so you feel like you're in the country.  Not only is it full of horses, tractors, dirt, pebbles, and all kinds of things that Edie likes.  It's also full (and mean full) of the goofiest animal on god's green earth---the peacock.  Oh, and in case you didn't know, we're in the middle peacock mating season.  I'm serious. 

Edie's dailouge the entire time: "Dow, da, doe, doe, doe."

Lot's of this.

And this.  

"Doe, doe, doe."

"Doe."

The funny thing about kids is that if you don't show any fear then they don't know to be scared.  I picked up some hay off the ground and fed a horse.  When I turned around Edie was feeding a horse.  She wasn't timid at all.  In fact if the horse took a little too long to take the hay from her she would start to get mad.

 Later that day....

Edie doesn't stop moving.  Ever. It's amazing that I got this shot because she laid there for only .25 seconds.
