Daddy's birthday
Today is Paul's birthday (and my parents' wedding anniversary, and my brother and Michelle's anniversary) so we had a party. We also celebrated Papa's birthday and Uncle Ben's birthday since they were over the summer and we were all so busy. The party was fun, the food was delicious, and the kids had a great time playing in the backyard. Our neighbors, Sue and Amelia, gave Lily and Annie a jungle gym (which Lily calls her Donut). It's huge and she is in love with it. She flips around and does tricks that make her father and I cringe with the anticipation of an ER visit.

Family PIctures
We decided to have professional pictures made this summer by Rebecca Bonner Photography, and they turned out so well. Here are a few of my favorites.
Summer Block Party 2011
The 6th annual Bellaire Block party - well our block of Bellaire - was in August and it was great! As usual, our neighbors all came out, everyone cooked, ate, played and danced, and we all had a blast. Lily was big enough to play with the big kids, but not so big that she didn't still want to be around Mommy and Daddy. Annie was passed around and cuddled to within an inch of her life. There was an enormous water slide to celebrate one of the kid's birthdays, so of course, Lily had to get in the action. We are so lucky to live on such a great block with such great neighbors.
Andra loves snuggling Annie!
Lily is the little spot of pink at the top of the slide!
