I Went Swimming!

Mom and I celebrated our first day of summer vacation by stowing away on a business trip to Lake Geneva with Dad. At first I wasn't so sure about this whole thing called "swimming", but my dad was so excited about it I thought I'd give it a chance. He showed me lots of cool swimming moves. I even got my face wet a little bit. That was weird! It was cold at first, but once I got used to it I started to understand what all the hype was.

Dr. Grandma

My Grandma is super smart! Someday I want a pillow hat like hers.

Jesus Is My Homeboy

I got to wear my first special white dress! Great Grandma Dottie said that I was at least the fourth generation to wear it. It seemed so special I was careful not to spit up on it! My Mom and Dad were so proud of me. Uncle Bob baptised me, that was really cool, and I thought he had some really thoughtful things to say. Most of the family helped welcome me to the faith--even Uncle Daniel flew in from Las Vegas for the weekend. (Aunt Laura and Uncle Daniel are my godparents, but Mom and Dad say I can still live with them.)

Getting To Know Me

It's been a distracting few weeks since Easter. Exhausting really, when you consider a two-month-old attending Book Club with Mom at Carol Conway's house, learning to sit up, learning to lay on my tummy, getting a White House Easter egg (and book!) from Great-Uncle Ralph, visiting with Great-Grandma Janega (plus meeting cousins Luke, Elizabeth, Tommy and Timmy!), learning to talk with Dad, and trying it out with Aunt Jess.

But there have been shocking glimpses within, as well. I'm falling in love with a white stuffed bear. I look like Grandpa "Doobie-Do" Dan, which would make you stare around in stunned silence, too. (I hope I don't grow the beard.) There have been horrific Sox losses at the hands of the hated Texas Rangers (not even from Houston!), which is needless to say, irksome to Aunt Laura and me.

It's enough to make any sweet girl feel, well, not-so-very-sweet.

Sorry it's been so long since the last post. I've also discovered trees, though Mom and Dad haven't figured out how to take a picture of it, yet.
