Summer Daze

Peek-a-boo at breakfast time. It's so fun to watch them play with eachother!!!

My technologically advanced children. (Basically, Alex just wants to do what his sister does!)

Charlotte's Web Party: I have been reading Charlotte's Web to Gabby, one chapter every night. I promised her that once we finished reading the book, we'd have a party and watch the movie. Her eyes lit up at the thought of a party. So she planned that we would have popcorn and drink Kool-aid and blow up some balloons. So a party it became. She really enjoyed the movie and suprisingly, she remembered a lot of the book to compare it to.

We're thinking of trying out a new hair-do. What do you think?

Already trying to be like Dad.
We were prepared for Tropical Storm Eduaord.
Each of them had their own tent with books and games. Gabby's idea.
Just too cute!!!

Gabby snuggling one of Grandmommy's new puppies, Sadie.
No, he's not in time out. He just crawled into the dog's cage all by himself. Sooo funny!
Granddaddy's 60th birthday celebration!!!

I love my twin, daddy!

Well, sorry I haven't posted in over a month. But these pictures sum up the most part of what's been going on here. We have spent many days at home cleaning out closets, playing with cousins, visiting grandparents, having a few playdates and so on. We spent another weekend in Grandbury celebrating my dad's 60th birthday. My sister, Jennifer, made a slide show with old pictures and then wrote up 60 Don Hooperisms. It was a big surprise to my father, and it brought tears to his eyes. It was so nice for all of us siblings with our kids and spouses to be there to honor him and let him know that his Don Hooperisms are still with us today. Happy Birthday Dad, I love you!!! We also had a sad goodbye to the Clarksons who moved to Taipei, Taiwan for a year. But, I have enjoyed getting to hear their adventures thus far.

We are also greatly anticipating finding out what our baby will be. Boy or Girl? It's driving me crazy not knowing. It is something I think about at least a hundred times a day. I want to know which set of clothes to get down from the attic. I want to know which room it will be in, the theme, the color...etc. I want to start calling the baby by name. I want to get Gabby ready for the idea of another brother or a new sister. (She wants another "stinky brother") I want to know!!!! Next Wednesday is the ultrasound. I just ask for everyone's prayers that this baby is a healthy baby, no matter the gender. Stay tuned for the latest news!
