Papaw's 90th Birthday

Saturday the 23rd was Papaw's 90th birthday so we all went to Fairfield to celebrate. Here is Papaw with his cousin Mildred and Davis, my cousin Amanda's 5 year old.

The whole family was there - we had a great time visiting and eating cake.

I wanted to get a picture of Zachary with his cousin Madeleine, but they are both 2 and were not too cooperative!
This was the best I could do - aren't they cuties?

Zachary thoroughly enjoyed Papaw's birthday cake - he asked for it for breakfast the next day and has talked about it several times since we got home.

Haircut #4 - Before and After









First Day of School

Today is Zachary's first day in the 2-year old room so we both went to take him to school today. I couldn't help myself and snapped this photo through the window with my phone as we left. As you can see, he is not too concerned. :) He is back with all his friends who moved up throughout the year and he is right next door to his old room. But my baby is growing up!!

Piecemeal

I am getting behind - I have several large groups of photos I want to blog, including our July 4th weekend, my trip to Orlando with Zachary, and fingerpainting with Georgia, but when I start to do it I feel overwhelmed. So I will continue to post random pictures until I can get my act together! Here are some pictures Aunt Cynthia took of us yesterday with her new camera...



(here he is saying 'One more donut!')

"One More Donut!"

That is officially Zachary's first three word phrase. His daddy is so proud. :)

San Diego - Denouement

On Friday, our last full day in San Diego, we spent the morning at the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla.









Zachary loved this little water table - we probably spent at least 45 minutes playing here. You used the panels to block up the current to create little pathways, then you would drop your boat in at the top and watch it navigate through. Finally a large school class showed up so I told him 'Okay, it's someone else's turn now, can you share?' and he turned to the kid next to him, gave him his boat, and walked away. I was astounded!


After a nap, we drove to Escondido to meet Charles's friend Danny and his family for dinner. They were having a classic car show so the streets were shut down and we just walked around and looked at cool old cars, then had a nice Mexican food dinner. I unfortunately took no pictures whatsoever on this night! But we had a really nice time and it was great to meet them.

And that was the end of our San Diego adventure - the next morning we loaded up and headed back to the airport, exhausted but happy.


Here we are back in Austin at the airport, waiting for Daddy to come around with the car. Zach is holding Duck, who he acquired at the zoo and who is now a sleeping necessity along with Monkey.


The End.
