MY GIRLS

Carina did not want her picture taken...Got her anyway. :)




This was my dress when I was little...

Rian all dressed up.

Guess I should have turned the camera...or rotated the pictures.





There are those fingers again!

FRIDAY'S PLAYDATE

Friday, we had some friends come over and play. It was another hot and humid day....which ended in tornados and torrential rain!! But we did get a few hours of sunshine to play in.

Helena sitting pretty.
Enjoying some grapes.
Snack time for Estrella too..

"Miss Maggie," Michael's former speech therapist brought her two granddaughters, Iris and Audrey over to play. Michael did not quite know what to make of that...but he ended up chatting and following Audrey (on the rt) around.

Give Jake a truck...and watch him play. :)

Estrella wasn't all that happy.
Eric


Helena liked to pull out the grass..and since it needs to be mowed desperately, we thought maybe we could just move her around and she would take care of it....

Olive testing out the temperature--COLD!


Jake, Audrey, & Rena
Olive and some mommies.


Michael relaxing on the blanket.






Yummy cupcakes

Rena and Iris both like their cupcakes de-iced first.


Michael and Audrey discussing some important matters.


Cooling off:



Pretty girl!
Eden also wanted to test the water temp.











And then came the rain and wind and loss of power for a few mins...

The girls checking out Rian, course they turned just as I took the picture. Oh well.

NIGHT AT THE PARK

Thursday late afternoon, we met at Swartswood for dinner... it was nice n buggy & muggy.

Mike & Matt
Carina posing on a stump.Two kids!!


There were hardly any people there--the park was quiet. The lake had also failed its tests, so there was no swimming. Maybe that contributed to the lack of people.

Fun on the playground.


Michael and Grandpa on the swings.







Rian was protected with a bug net..I wouldnt mind having one of those!
