Vacationing in Seattle

Here we are playing games, getting wet and stripping down.

Some Cell Phone Shots...

Here are some shots that I just found in my cell phone for your viewing pleasure. The first two photos were taken at the same time while on the road from Utah to Dallas. Walker was out cold and Charlie was making all sorts of conversation:





The photos below were all taken on the 3rd of July - I needed to get the boys out of the house and somewhere preferably cool. We went to the Galleria Mall to watch the ice skaters and bounce around in the play area:











After standing against the wall for 20 seconds, Charlie was pooped:

Heidi Ewart Comes for Mama's Birthday

Jack surprised me by flying Heidi in from Los Angles! I am so happy to have her here for the weekend! She's been entertaining the boys (I even got a 45 minute nap yesterday), cooking meals, cleaning up after us and taking me out on the town! Thank you Jack... what a wonderful gift!

The Boys of Summer


 Family request for current photos granted...















Happy Fourth

The festivities got started early yesterday. The boys and I spent the afternoon with my friend, Mallory Dubuclet and her family. We ate BBQ and beer while the kids splashed around in a play pool. Walker found an unopened lego set and went to town. Charlie wanted me to hold him the entire time, which was fine as long as I could drink while he snuggled on my chest. Then Mallory pulled out a little red velvet birthday cake!  There was a candle and a round of "happy birthday" too!  I feel celebrated.





This morning, it is mercifully cool (in the high 80's only getting up to 92 degrees today). The house is newly mowed and bedecked with the flag. I can hear the floats down the street making their way to the Lake Highlands High School for the 4th of July parade. All we need now is Jack!  He's been away for over two weeks finishing up his Utah gig and now with Catherine Fitzmaurice in New York. He'll be home in 6 days - but who's counting?  Here, maybe some photos of the house will make him homesick and then he'll rush home early!  (Or not.)




We miss you, sweet husband!
