Yesterday I was taking Rosa Jane's picture in her swimsuit on the back deck when she did it -- she totally cheesed out for the camera. It's a delicate situation we're in from here on out. ;-)
When Rosa Jane had an "accident" we decided it was time to put back on her diaper and come in side. So we were playing in her room. The game was hide the ball from Hanky. Rosa Jane kept putting the ball in her crib so Hanky would jump over her head and into the crib to fetch it. We were both laughing our heads off. And that's when Don creeped open the door. He was home early from work and wanted to jump in the fun, too!

Ah, a newborn!
Our friends down the street called us for a playdate and I grabbed my camera when I heard there would be a newborn there. Ashley is her name and boy is she a sweetie!
Today was a really great and fun day!

WHEW! So FASSSST, Rosa Jane!
I've been toting Rosa Jane in my back pocket these last few weeks as I go to pilates/conditioning classes at the park. Rosa Jane picked up on my grunts when straining with situps and weights and she watches me run, run, run uphill fast!
Now it's her turn to run uphill. I said, "Come, Cute Girl, Come!" and it worked like a charm. Next thing I knew I was being toppled by a giggling toddler.
I really think THIS is my favorite age. She's getting my jokes and says, "Mommy's fun!"
What little mama doesn't want to hear that?

the current scene of the crime
I hung a cluster of photos this morning and I'm right proud of their straightness. Just wait until Donnie gets home. I'm sure they'll all be crooked by then and driving him crazy!
Thank goodness he loves me so much!!

Kate and Ro-Ro
Kate came with me to pick up "Ro-Ro" early from preschool yesterday and that was just the beginning of all the laughs we had together. The girls giggled and squealed and kissed each other. They jumped in Ro-Ro's crib for a good thirty minutes. It was hilarious... the first time I'd seen RJ curl her legs up in a jump cannonball fashion. I got a little video of it, but of course not to the extent that they were doing it before.
Anyway, there is no doubt that these are the best of friends.... and I really love that because we like Kate's family so very much, too.

They Just Naturally Grabbed Hands
It's so cute to watch your daughter make girlfriends. Last week we went swimming in our first city public pool. It was nice to not have to pay a single cent to walk through the gate, but when a hair floated onto my hand I about nearly gagged. ;-)
Check out the pictures to see more of how we're spending these long summer days... not to mention racy swim suit pics!

An Update for Sally
Because Sally inspires us all to update our blogs on a regular basis, here's what is new and improved in our world: Donr dashed to Boston and back the latter part of the week while Kristen's Aunt and Uncle, their daughter and granddaughter crashed at the Roedner Ranch overnight. Kristen took some amazing pictures of Erica for her senior year and now we're just waiting for an internet connection on her own laptop to get them uploaded. Someone put a password on the wireless network in the house and no one can remember what it is. Good luck with that, right?
Rosa Jane and I are now in Liberty along with sister Caren and her kids. We're going to my brother's daughter's wedding this afternoon.
We will try to keep you posted. ;-)
Thank you to all our faithful readers!

Playing with big sister
We had a wonderful weekend with Sara although the peanut would hardly let sister hold her.
It's Sunday night and the pixie has landed back in New York. The house is quiet and I'm sleepy.

Happy July, Y'all!
so, we've been on vacation from everything except watching wimbledon tennis. don had most of last week off and we ate homemade red velvet birthday cake, went to a community parade, ate bbq with great neighbors who have also seen "Hands on a Hardbody." for don's birthday we treated ourselves to a movie while RJ was in school (Knocked Up. We laughed, we cried!) and went out to eat twice (CPK and Roccos). My mom spent the night with us friday night during her layover to pick up Bree from Camp Longhorn. hmm, what else? Oh, yeah, I've met what could potentially be my new best friend in the last week over rookie tennis as the near by tennis club.
life is great. now if only it would stop raining so rosa jane and I could go practice our swim moves.
i did my first pilates class this morning with the neighbor. i can barely hold my head up. good thing it really is attached to my neck and that to my torso and that to my butt and that to my legs. i think i could literally fall to pieces.
and i paid for that?!?

Rosa Jane Steals Ice. Watch out!
RJ loves to drink water from a "big girl" cup, but you better watch out 'cause her sticky fingers will quickly find their way inside your drink.
