Ellie Gets Glases

In about a week Ellie's glasses will be in! She is slightly nearsighted and slightly farsighted. The doc added some prism to the glasses to see if that will help with her head tilt! She is so excited about the glasses! We'll see how long it lasts!

Fourth of July in Austin

Tiny Kevin walking up to the main building and the tower!

We went to Austin to visit Greg (chris's brother) and Megan and their kids for the 4th of July! Granny and Grandpa (Pawpaw as Kevin calls him) were there, too. We had so much fun. It was great to be back in such a fun city! We went to Barton Springs and floated the river in San Marcos!! On our way home on Sunday, we stopped by UT. We went back to the building where Chris and I met, strolled through the business school where we spent many, many hours in class and studying, and I sat by the fountain at the South Mall where I loved to study in sun!! I really missed being there and being a student... :-)

Kevin Sleeps in "Big Boy Bed"

After Ellie and Kevin spent a late afternoon playing "night night" in Kevin's crib, Kevin has become proficient in climbing out of his crib. He had never even attempted to get out of it until he saw how easy Ellie makes it look! It's not really in his personality to challenge the status quo. Now that we can't keep him in his crib for anything, we decided to move him to the trundle bed. He's sleeping great in it, but he's not nearly as cooperative as Ellie who only recently began getting out of bed without permission!!

He runs out of bed and stands at the top of the stairs crying. From the couch, we say, "Kevin go back to bed." He hikes his shoulders and runs back to his bed, only to emerge a few seconds later to repeat the cycle! After about 10 to 15 times, he goes to sleep!
