Brief Visit

Grandma Carmichael and Aunt Cari paid us a short, but very sweet visit. They came Sunday night and just left a few hours ago. Love visiting with family!!

Abby's SWIMMING!

You can't tell from any of the photos here, but Abby swam for the first time today. By the end of the swim time, she was swimming almost half the width of the pool, completely underwater. We are JAZZED. So proud of her!

The goggles made all the difference in the world.

Diving for rings.

Open Shop

So this is what happened when Abby opened her "dance shop" the other day with all her new dress-up clothes. Clothes EVERYWHERE. I had the hardest time not putting everything back in the box immediately. Held back my SJ tendencies.

Dress-up Day

Grandma B. found a garage sale...

...with bunches of dress-up clothes, cheap!

Needless to say, it's been the hit of the week!

7 Months OLD!!!

7 months old today. How can this be???

Cutie Patootie!

We visited my Uncle and Aunt in Laguna Beach last week,

while visiting Joel and Richelle, and I forgot my camera,

which is a huge bummer.

But here's one of the outfits they gave Caleb

while we were there. Cute, huh?

Thanks Uncle Jim and Aunt Judy!

Fun Visit

We spent several days with my brother and his wife.

What special memories!

Park Day

Tita...

...and Tito...

...are the best!

We LOVE spending time with them!

Building Blocks

She's getting more elaborate in her building-block designs.

She built this castle all on her own, and I thought it was picture worthy!

VBS

So Abby went to VBS this year, and this is her on "disquise" night. She really hated the idea of dressing up as a boy (thankfully), but it's all we could come up with last minute. She was a trooper, though.
