Family Fun!

We had a lot of fun exploring at Pop Pop Taylor and Nana Anne's House. They have a beautiful yard with lots of flowers and plants.

While were in Ohio, Will and Jeanne got to spend time with their Aunt and Uncle, cousins, and Nana and Pop Pop Taylor. Will really had a great time with CC and Dave! They had lots of fun playing trains and getting into trouble at restaurants....mostly Will. Will also had fun at Nana and Pop Pop's house. Pop Pop Taylor even had a really cool tractor for Will to ride on. It had been a while since we had all been to Cleveland and we had a lot of fun. Everyone was happy to see the kids.

Trip to Cleveland....Happy 20th High School Reunion Daddy!

We all made the trip to Cleveland this month for Dadd'y High School Reunion....everyone had a great time. Will and Brian got to ride on a fire truck in the homecoming parade and Will enjoyed his first high school football game. He was very quick to jump on board the Rocky River Pirates band wagon. We had to drag him home kicking and screaming...literally...I am not kidding. Jeanne was a good sport even though it was pretty cold for a Texas Baby.

The Pumpkin Patch

Will, Jeanne and I went to the pumpkin patch this month. We had a really good time...even if it was a little bit hot! Only in Texas do you have to worry about staying hydrated and not getting sunburned while picking out your pumpkins. This was Jeanne's first trip to the patch. She was the most agreeable to the picture taking. Will was a little more difficult to convince.

What a crew!

There is not much that needs to be said about this picture!

Jeanne is 9 Months Old!

It is hard to believe that Jeanne is 9 months old. The year has gone by quickly. She is getting to be very active and wanting to play with all of her brother's toys. So far he is handling it pretty well. As you can see in the pictures her hair still stands straight up and she is a really happy baby! We are all having tons of fun...most of the time....

Trip to Austin!

We had tons of fun in Austin with Auntie Stacey, Keegan, and Cami! It was a really fun girls weekend until Brian crashed it after his guys weekend in Chicago. We went swimming, blew bubbles and of course tortured the kids and took pictures!

Back to School

Will is back to school for his second year of preschool! He is really excited to be back to school and had no qualms about saying goodbye to mommy and Jeanne. As to be expected his favorite part of school is recess and playing with his friends!

Summer Fun!

The shirt was a gift from Uncle Michael....you would never guess that he was a Red Sox fan! Jeanne has one too, but it is pink.
Never too early to start cheering for those Buckeyes!
Will has been heavily influenced by Auntie Jess!
Oh, don't they look sweet....that was right before Will pushed her off of him.
Fun with Papa!

Bath Time

Will is really excited that he has someone to take a bath with now. Jeanne is sitting up and can take a bath with big brother. She is not so sure about the whole thing just yet. But she seems to be getting into it. If only her brother would let her play with some of the toys!

Happy 3rd Birthday Will!

Will had a really fun party! This was the first birthday where he really understood what was going on. He had a great time and so did we!

We are trying to channel all of his energy towards something productive! Baseball perhaps:) Just kidding....he does seem to like it...but he does not take instruction well. Hmmmm. I wonder where he gets that from?

A "work trip" to Phoenix with Mom, Gigi, and Papa

Will and Jeanne enjoyed living the resort lifestyle...for a few days anyway. Swimming in the morning, naps in the afternoon, and swimming again before dinner! We had a great time even though it was in the 110 degree range most days! They were both awesome on the plane...no major meltdowns for either of the kids or the adults. Will really liked the plane ride...yet another exciting mode of transportation.

Summer Vacation

We all had a great time at St. George Island! Will and Jeanne loved it. It was definitely hard to come back to the real world!
They especially loved having their cousin Caitlin with them!
