Around Our House

I gave Tessa her 2nd haircut this week.

A teacher at Paul's school is raising bunnies so we took the kids over to see them. Tessa was in heaven holding and petting them. Rockwell's much more cautious around animals, but he did like to pet them and watch their cute little noses. Damon pet one a couple times and then grabbed her ear and wouldn't let go. Whoops!

We're still spending a whole lot of time swinging over here. I've never met someone who likes to swing as much as Tessa does. Damon lasts for a while, but then he wants to run around. I love the picture of Supergirl pushing Damon. :) Rockwell's so sweet and will spend time every day pushing her when I can't do it.

 

  

And as much as Tessa loves swinging, Damon equally loves playing peek-a-boo. He'll use anything to play: baskets, lids, walls, his hands, blankets, anything.

  

  

  

We went to Katie's one day this week, and Damon and Kenzie got some good play time in. They are both so stinkin' cute!

We had two birds trapped in our window well one day. They couldn't get out with the covers on. The kids checked on them all throughout the day and were very concerned when Paul got them out that they would make it back to their nest. It was so hard for Tessa not to touch the bird when it was within her reach, just sitting there. She always chases birds wanting to catch one so badly. We left for dance and when we came back the baby was gone, so we're hoping she's back with her family.

Buffie and her kids came over to play today. I finally got to meet Grayson. He's absolutely adorable! It's so fun to hold a tiny baby that holds still again. :) I love how well the big kids play together. They played outside from the minute Buffie got here until the minute they left, only coming in for water to drink or to put their dinosaurs in. Olivia and Rockwell always hug when it's time to go and find out when they're going to see each other again. So cute.

Damon's getting pretty good throwing balls and making baskets these days.

This summer has been so fun and so busy. I've really enjoyed the time we've had at home as a family lately. Some of my favorite times are just playing at home together.

I just love these kids of mine!
