Dallas World Aquarium

I wanted to take the kids to the zoo today, however, Noah's Flood came upon us and I had to change plans. We went to the aquarium instead, had Mexican food for lunch and ate our sandwiches at home where we had an indoor picnic.






A tree kangaroo


Fairy penguins





The Pygmy Marmosets were a lot of fun to watch


We met a sloth up close and personal, too.





The Manatee


Keira had a blast watching the sharks. "ooh, shark head meee!"








The Jaguar looked very cuddly.





Picnic at the end of the day. And yes, it is still raining as I am posting this.

Attacking the Blondies

I never cut the Blondies into small pieces, so the three beasties decided to help themselves with forks:

Jewel Yam Blondies

Had some jewel yams and needed to do something with them, so I made blondes. And even Katharine approves! Score.
Lennon just asked for a second one.

Happy Birthday, Kassidy!

Happy birthday to our wonderful (and much loved) little girl, Kassidy. 

This morning we celebrated the occasion with a birthday breakfast, consisting of birthday cake and ice cream cones. Iria supplied the hat, and the sugared up kids supplied the charm.

Here are some Kassidy facts:

She is 21.9 pounds, in the 56th percentile for her age

She is 30 inches tall, in the 80th percentile for her age

She loves to eat mangos and avocados

She loves to sing, clap and wave

She loves to give big hugs (especially with Lennon)

She is most definitely a Mommy's girl

She loves to be carried around by Katharine

She loves to play in the car with Lukas (he sits next to her)

She sits next to Keira during meals and is often fed by her

She likes to pull out books and Tupperware and scatter them all over the floor

She loves her baby blankets

Her nickname is "Dee Dee" (which is how Keira pronounces her name)

She has eight teeth

She is a really easy and laid back baby

Looking forward to year number two!

Baseball Dreams

Lukas got his baseball uniform last week, and insisted on wearing it to bed.

His team is the Phillies, and his number is 11.

Cool Breezes

It seems like yesterday when we were running around sprinkler parks in hot and sticky 88 degree weather... oh yeah, it was yesterday!
