Daddy's guitar

Miriam spotted Daddy's guitar case in the basement recently and asked Daddy if we could bring it upstairs and get it out. The girls have had fun plucking the strings.

Father's Day

The first couple pictures were actually taken last Wednesday evening when Daddy returned from a work trip to Canada. It worked out pretty well though because it gave the girls and Mommy a little extra time to work on Daddy's Father's Day present (pictured below).

The quote around the frame says: "Our fingers may be small but we still have Daddy wrapped around them." (Feel free to click on the picture if you want to see it bigger.)

Hello summer!

Last week, our neighborhood playgroup met at the fountain in Tower Grove Park to cool off a little. We were hoping the wading pool would be open also, but evidently it's only open Thursday through Sunday this summer.Cora: Um... you're getting all wet and you don't even have your swimming trunks on.

Lafayette Park Summer Concerts

We kicked off the summer with the first concert at Lafayette Park this past Saturday evening. Mim made new friends, Cora pooped, we all enjoyed some yummy beef brisket smoked by Daddy and we hung out with friends and enjoyed some great music.

 

Daddy FINALLY hangs the "free" swing

The girls have been not so patiently awaiting the hanging of the swing in the back yard. But they have been very appreciative now that it is there.

Memorial Day

We enjoyed hanging out with my (Steph's) family over Memorial Day weekend. The girls had a particularly good time with Uncle Marcus.

New Stroller

This is actually the most valuable vehicle we own.
