Doing the Washing

I can't keep from smiling right now :) I just noticed that my little independent three year old was in the process of getting dressed. I then saw him take his pajamas and bring them in the laundry room. I thought, oh how cute, he's putting them in the washer. I then saw him take all of the clothes out of his dirty clothes basket sitting outside the laundry room and bring those in also. I looked back from where I'm sitting on the couch and realized that the dryer door was open and he was putting all of his clothes in the dryer. "Mommy I put all of the laundry in the washing machine" he just told me. "I put ALL of it in. I put ALL of it in" he told me twice.

Another favorite Mommy moment.

Adelyn's First Swim

I wish I would have had the camera out for this. Adelyn officially went "swimming" in our neighborhood pool out 3 weekends ago (middle of August). I put on Zachary's old swimming shirt. We waded around the shallow end. It was a great day. Not too hot and the water felt like bath water. She seemed to love it a lot. Zachary goofed off with his silly daddy :) and he was excited that Adelyn got to come in the pool. Zachary even tried out floaties and was successful! He felt safe enough to let go of Scott and he swam around the pool. He did a lot of his regular jumping and is still comfortable going under the water when doing so. Hopefully next summer will be easier since Adelyn can go in the water now!

Adelyn's Baptism

This is a late posting, but here it is finally! I was baptized on July 11, 2010 by Fr. Paul Cleary at Our Lady of Grace in La Coste, Tx which is not too far from the house. This is not Mommy's usual church but Fr. Paul is a very special person too us. This day I became part of my family's church community. This was chosen for me, but when I get old enough I will decide if I want to continue being a member of this faith and become confirmed if I choose to. Aunt Kitty is my godmother and Uncle Brian is my godfather.

I got to wear a pretty white dress. It was really long but I think people liked it a lot because I got a lot of pictures taken of me. We had guests from our family on Mommy and Daddy's sides as well as some special friends. We grilled after the ceremony and there was a special cake made in honor of me (but I couldn't have any). It was a great weekend with my families all together. Mommy even got her wish to have board game night, the night before.
