Happy Father's Day!

I just wanted to wish Vic a happy father's day! He is an absolutely wonderful father and I am so blessed to have him as my partner in raising our children. Here are some of my favorite pictures of him and the kids from this past year....

9 months

Abby is 9 months old today and she has had lots of changes this past month. She started crawling a few weeks ago, but has really taken off just this week! I was hoping that Abby would be a calm and easy litte girl, but judging from the fact that she already crawls straight for the electrical outlets, I think we will have our hands full with her too! New things that Abby learned this month have been standing up while holding onto things and learning to clap, and she also got her first tooth :-) She still just eats baby food, but we will try some finger foods soon. This is such a fun age, and we are enjoying each day of this wonderful first year with her.

Clapping!

Where is Abby? She seems to get lost in the toys now that she moves!

Abby's first family movie night....as you can see, she likes the toys better than the movie right now!

Summer

Summer has definitely arrived! We have kept busy with swim lessons for Luke, preparing for VBS at church, and an attempt (failed) at potty training! Luke loved the swim lessons and it has helped him to be very comfortable with the water. Unfortunately, Luke did not share the same enthusiasm for potty training. Abby is almost 9 months old, I will post more about her later this week, but she also seems to enjoy the water and we are spending lots of time in it since it is so hot. Here are some recent pictures :-)

Abby loves to stand up and hold onto toys!

First trip this summer to our neighborhood pool, very different with 2 kids!!
