And Summer Begins....

As we have now had our first weekend at the pool- summer officially begins. Coop and I enjoyed the pool, sprinklers and water fountains. The water was chilly but the activity of all the other children kept us warm. We look forward to many more perfect days at the pool....

Our Beloved Towmater

Coop has officially introduced me to Towmater. Coop asked Mommy if I am big enough to drive Towmater. Mommy said yes!!! Now Coop pushes me around- I have quickly grown to love Towmater as much as he does. Thanks for sharing Coop!

Meeting Our First Gaffney Cousin!!

Mommy and I headed down to Atlanta this past weekend to meet Tad. As you can see is adorable- nice dark hair, large blue eyes and the cutest button nose ever!!! Tad (and parents) are doing great. Cooper stayed home with Daddy for a male bonding weekend of swimming, supper club and shopping. I told him all about Tad. Coop and I cannot wait until the three of us are running around together- watch out world-here we come!

Thaddeus Joseph Howells

We are thrilled to share with you the news from Aunt Kate and Uncle Johnny: A baby BOY is born!!!! Here is their exciting announcement:

We are thrilled to announce that Thaddeus Joseph Howells arrived on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at 10:18 a.m. He is named after Johnny's grandfather, Tad, and Kate's dad, Joe. Tad weighs 7 pounds and is 21 inches long. He is doing great and the frenchies are anxiously awaiting the new nugget's arrival home.

We are very excited for you all to meet him.

Love,
Kate, Johnny, Tad, Abby & Tug

Swaddling the poochie

As Mommy was making dinner, i was busy working the the blankets. I love to swaddle-having learned the art by watching Mommy and Daddy take care of Brady. I swaddle my babydoll, balls, trucks and as you can see the Bailey Dog. I was very excited to tell Mommy "swaddle poochie."

Trip to San Antonio

We had a lovely weekend trip to San Antonio. We only managed to bring our camera out on the plane but hopefully others will share pictures we can post. Brady and I had a great time playing with our Texas cousins Ben and Jack!

Brothers Playtime

One of our favorite things to do in the mornings is to play together in our cribs. We "wrestle" and bang heads, loving every minute of it.

A swingset!!!

Daddy and Pop worked tirelessly during the week on our swingset-we love it!! we are very appreciative of their hard work especially considering much of the work was done in the rain. Mommy and Grammy were quite impressed with their handiwork.

Playing with Pop

We had a great visit with Grammy and Pop!
