Hello Heat!

We made our trip to Dallas on Saturday....gone from 87 and comfortable to 97 and to your breath away hot! The boys were great on the trip! Jack started pointing at things for the first time on the airplane. Of course, Joey hit the ground running at "Ganny's" and was in the pool within the first 15 minutes. My only complaint is that little ones don't have an "adjust my time clock button" built in. Jack woke up at 5:30 and Joey was up at 6:30...we were literally in the pool by 7:30 am yesterday morning. We spent all day in the pool and had our favorite Mexican food last night, were we realized that Jack had cut his fourth tooth! Joe headed down to A&M after dinner to start scouting. I can't believe this time is already here.

Training Camp

We went up to visit Daddy at Training Camp on Saturday. Joey loves to go run around on the field with Joe after practice. He got a little lesson on the sled from "Big Joe", our favorite Replacements lineman!

The Beach

We spent 2 wonderful weeks in the Outer Banks this summer. It was our first trip there and the quaint town of Duck is where we stayed. We really lucked out on our house...it was beautiful and perfect for us and all of our visitors. It was truly a family affair! The boys loved the pool and it was SO convenient to have one at the house. The beach was a short walk down the street where we fished, dug for crabs, collected shells, built sandcastles and Jack ate his first sand. Joey is a great kite flier, an awesome boat captain and a cautious fisherman. Jack is such an easy baby...he just went the flow: slept on the beach in the morning, played in the sand, splashed in the pool. Two weeks didn't seem like enough time...if we could have stayed another week we would have! Everyone is already looking forward to next year!

First O's Game

Joe took Joey, along with Grandmom and Grandpop to his first Orioles game on Sunday! He had a great time and seemed to be mesmerized with the action on the field. He did have to take a little break though and run around the concourse....where he had to make a pay phone call to mommy!

Carnival Time

The local volunteer fire department holds a fundraising carnival each June. We took the boys last weekend thinking that Joey would atleast enjoy the kiddie rides and maybe win a stuffed animal or two. Well, the only thing that he liked or even wanted to consider riding were the cars that go around in a circle. It took a little coaxing, but we did also get him on the merry-go-round, twice! He really didn't have a care for any of the alley games except for the fishing...he wanted to keep fishing after his "game" was over. Again, little Jack watched from the stroller, but he didn't seem to mind :)
