Visiting with Daddy...

Rachel discovered her dad's laptop bag and seized the opportunity.

Wandering about....

Bermuda shorts? Check.
Sister? Check.
Yellow backpack around neck? Check.
Shirt? uh............

There is...

... a great letter to the editor in today's Sun-Star by my pal, Toni (who really should be blogging!). I couldn't agree more. Amen, sister.

Rumor has it, there were TWO tiaras!

My dear 'friend-in-law' Donavan is turning 26! Much to her delight, this is turning out to be a month-long celebration! She got a bash last weekend, has been getting goodies and movie dates, has a cake and ice cream get together on Tuesday, gets to see "The Devil Wears Prada" with moi on Friday, and who knows what else! She deserves it, and much more. She's just lucky that I didn't use some of the other pictures I have...mwahahahahaaaaaaaa! Happy Birthday, Donnie!

Daddy's shirts

....we're having fun today, cruising around in the shirts that Daddy picked out at The Children's Place (at Fashion Show in Vegas--big sale!). Alas, the cute purple bubble skorts are still a tad big, so we substituted some green cropped pants. They coordinate well with our new pull-along caterpillars!

Double Doh!

Alright. In an effort to make myself seem like uber-Blogger and change my banner, I've somehow made my archives go bye-bye. I've still got the posts, and I know what I've done wrong, but I'm trying to figure out the best way to fix it. So for those of you who are just SO caught up in our lives that you've clicked on the archives, only to find yourself nowhere fast, I do apologize! Help is on the way! That is, after I've wrestled with my girls some more, picked up the 9,000 Cheerios on the floor, put them down for a nap, and read another couple chapters of Twelve Sharp! Meanwhile, enjoy some pictures of our cute new halter tops--thanks Grammy!

Happy Father's Day from the Floating Babes

I hope all of the fathers out there had a wonderful day. We took my own wonderful Dad and our very dear Adrian (Daddy) to Wah Sing last night. It was supposed to be about them, but every outing to a restaurant ends up being the girls' show, all the way. I'm not sure if anyone ever talked to us before we had these two in tow. They are still a big attention-getter, and the waiters at Wah Sing are a bit smitten!

Today, Adrian got a nice, relaxing day on his computer. He spent some time cuddling with his girls, then we headed over to Grammy and Grandpa's for some swimming. They ended up getting into the cold jacuzzi in their floaties. Grandpa tried to model holding the breath and going under. They just looked at him like he was nuts. Enjoy the pictures!

Doh!

So Adrian and I just got back from Vegas. Lots of fun, but it's good to be back to my girls. Dork that I am, I took my camera--and left the memory stick in my printer! Instead, why not enjoy this adorable picture of Charlotte! My funny girl.

Busted!

So we have this kitchen gate. It's supposed to swing closed on it's own, but it's a bear to get perfectly balanced. Sooooo....we've all made the mistake of not making sure it closes behind us. Boy, do these two know an opportunity when they see one! Grandma Terri caught them redhanded! The look on Rachel's face says, "Someone said we could go in here!" Needless to say, we're taking extra care to close everything behind us.

Oh, and today offcially starts my summer vacation! Wooohooooooooooo!
