Lake Fun Part Deux

We had a nice staycation at the lake a few weeks ago, but are just now getting to tell y'all about it. Kimberly, Lily and I all were out of school for a solid week this summer and tried to make the most of every minute. We picked up Lily from school Friday with a little familiar surprise-- she was in store for a big weekend!!!

Project Manager, Lily, oversaw me do some projects, like fixing the deck. She's a tough boss.

Lily being silly watching her daddy from the deck through the screen

Needless to say she got a little dirty-- If you cant see it, she has a dusty screen imprint on her face

But she didn't mind getting a chance to wash it off

Once clean, Lily played in her new toy, the boat, and watched her momma on the SeaDoo

We used the boat and a makeshift playpen. It worked really well... for two days-- she figured out how to climb up seats to the side.

A day in Tuscaloosa

Sorry everyone for the hiatus but we have been a little busy around here trying to keep Lily out of the cabinets, drawers, off the stairs, in the house, and sometimes even clean! This past weekend we were able to take a visit to T-town to visit the Seatons and their new addition, Kennedy. First we had to eat like a Venetian at Cafe Venice.

So Lily and Kennedy checked out each others noses

Then for dessert they did a little tap dancing

Then we had to wait 30 minutes...

So that we could go swimming!!!

Then the daddies played a little, "this little piggy went to the market"

After all the swimming Lily was tuckered out so we went two buildings over to Chez Cox where Lily was treated with a plush blanket for sleeping and her parents were treated to a fillet! Thanks K-Jo

THE END

Now You See It...Now You Don't

After the photoshoot it was time for the kids to show everyone their latest tricks. Lily worked on her walking while Andrew worked on his crawling, both were making very good progress.

First Lily showed us her ability to use a "phonebook"

Then Andrew showed us how to do the breaststroke

Then Lily came back with a no-hands demonstration

Then Andrew showed us his light fingers by taking Lily's remote

Which left Lily a little baffled

And then Lily countered with an all out battle

When it was all said and done there were no hard feelings

But Andrew figured he would stay in his cave a bit longer...just in case

Next up on the stage is a well known economist all over the world for her theory of the "Rubberband Effect"...If you open the drawer the theory states that the door will open too, also if one were to open the door the drawer will open as well. This happens as well in situations involving closing of doors and drawers. This phenomenon is known as the Rubberband Effect.
