Father's Day

Lounging at the pool, or on the pool?

Doing a hick impersonation with toothpics.

I like M & Ms.

I love my sister.

We celebrated Father's Day yesterday. It was a simple but fun day. We went to eat and laughed the whole time. The girls were on their best behavior and it made the dinner so much fun. Joe ordered the salad bar and so he was able to get ice cream with various toppings. He brought it back to the table and the feedng frenzy with Elainea started. She showed us some incredible reflex action as she went in to swipe more M&Ms.

The house is getting closer to completion. They finished putting up the new basecoat for the stucco. It needs to cure for a week and then they can finish with the topcoat and trim. It will be such a relief to have it completed and the scaffolding and plastic taken down. Currently every window and door is covered with plastic. This makes the kids go crazy.

We inflated the pool and let the kids go swimming. They had so much fun together. Seeing the two girls together reminds us about what life is really about. They are so amazing. They both are changing so much right now.

There is no doubt that the sacarament of marriage was our true vocation and God gives us the grace we need to be parents. What a priceless gift we have in them.
