Taking a break from the heat and yardwork to post recent pictures

Playing in the spice cabinet at Grandma and Pappy's

Allison is such a good eater!! Occassionally she'll throw food because she thinks it's funny, but most of the time if you give her food, she'll eat it.

Greg on the new-to-us John Deere riding mower. It was made in '82 (the year I was born!!!) but hopefully we'll keep it working for the rest of the summer.

Some old family friends (Stacy and Mike Caldwell for any of you Tyler folks) came to Houston recently and spent a little while hanging out with us. Stacy came down so she could meet with some doctors at MDAnderson about her brain cancer, and we're glad we got to visit, if only for a short while...

I'm terrible about remembering to take pictures, so as Mom and Dad were getting ready to drive them to the airport, we snapped some parting shots. Allison was napping, so this is all we could get :)

We've spent a lot of our recent mornings at the pool, and Allison is beginning to learn the routine. The community center at our subdivision has a kiddie pool (1 ft deep = perfect) and Allison loves to splash around.

Grandma and Pappy with their Texas grandkids (Allison, Jake, Maya, Caleb). It was sure hard to get a decent shot with all the squirmy kids, but I think we did pretty well.
