It's a healthy baby... girl!

Lane is going to have a baby sister!

The rest of the day at Grandma's

Camping Out

In the tent under Grandma's kitchen table.

Shopping Done Right.

Lunch at Neiman Marcus with Jan before an afternoon of shopping for clothes that will fit around my growing belly.  what a very special treat!  I got lucky in the mother-in-law department.

Couldn't Resist Posting

Lane, asleep with the bear his Aunt Michelle knitted for him.

Arbor Hills Play Date

Last Friday we went to Arbor Hills Nature Center to play and visit with friends.

Rockets

Last Saturday, Marilyn, Liam and Jackson came to Frisco.  We went to watch members of the Dallas Rocket Association blast off their rockets and then we went to a new Music Institute's open house where the kids got to take a couple of music classes and see different instruments.

Make Believe

Lane has been pretending a lot, starting the past couple of weeks.  This weekend he took a pretend nap while all his animals were taking their naps.

Date Night

Chad had to work late tonight so Lane and mommy went to the rec. center pool (Lane got to use the pass he got from the library for reading books this summer) and then out to eat Vietnamese food.  Yummmm...

Doctor, Doctor, Give Me The News

This 'doctoring' is very serious business!  Lane LOVES to go to mommy's work on Thursdays so he can play with Jacob, and Lori and Sherry.

Eyenocerous

Lane found this viking hat in the toy closet at my work, put it on and said it was his Eyenocerous hat!

Christmas in July

Tongiht, as we were heading out for another neighborhood sno cone night, Lane informed us he was going to wear his Christmas tree hat, the one his Aunt Michelle knitted for him.  He went on to get his green Crocs, and matched just perfectly.  Yes, it was still almost 100 degrees outside.

Instant Gratification.

When we unloaded the car last night, Lane found the 'snack cooler'.  He sat down in the laundry room and enjoyed fresh refreshing yogurt!

Birthdays Galore!

We got to go to two birthday parties for three cousins this weekend!  It was fun to visit with family.  At the Super Hero birthday party Lane got to play lots of games, including hitting a pinata (or pinyana as he says) for the first time, AND get a super hero cape to take home with him.  Happy birthday to the cousins!

Sno Cone Pool Party!

Wednesday night, some kids in the neighborhood set up a sno-cone stand.  We decided to take advantage of the neighbors being outside to have a pool party in the front yard.  That night Lane said, "I loved swimming with my friends!"  We had a great night!

Morning Tea (and Juice)

My computer won't currently read my camera disc, so I've missed a couple of days posting.
Our neighbor Bekah invited us over to visit on her front porch this morning.  When we got there, she surprised us with a lovely tray of goodies:  decaf tea, 1/2 apple juice/1/2 water with lid and straw for Lane, and yummy fresh strawberries.  She doesn't have the license plate 'Aunt B' for nothin'!  Thanks for a great visit, Bekah! (and for emailing us a picture :))

Dad-Dad's Tops!

Dad-Dad and Sharon went to Mexico and brought this cool top back for Lane!  Lane learned how to make it spin all by himself tonight.  He really likes assembling and pulling it over and over!

Grandparents' Week

Lane is so lucky to be able to spend time with grandparents that love him so much.  Yesterday, he spent the day with Gramma.  They went to a home inspection and Lane got to change locks and set combinations for a door.  Big fun for him!  Then they had lunch together and went to the Frisco Heritage Museum and the library.  Thursday Lane's Grandpa came to see him at my work, he spent Monday with Grandma and got to see Dad-Dad last weekend at Aunt Wendi and Uncle Jim's house.

Time with Gramma

Lane's Gramma came over this afternoon to spend some time with him.  They built a city out of legos and gave several Lego people a ride on the Lego train and Lane made some pizza for Gramma.  Oh, and Lane showed off his computer/mouse skills by showing Gramma how to play alphabet games on starfall.com.

Dallas Museum of Art

First Tuesday at the Dallas Museum of Art is crazy busy in the summer... when it's 105 degrees outside!  Lane saw a living room made out of cardboard, made a puppet out of a paper bag and some pipe cleaners, thought the temporary tattoo was a good idea til it was our turn :), and listened to a little bit of story time while we were there.

Lane's fall garden

Lane planted his fall garden of bush beans tonight.  Lane gets his own garden so he can plant, water and harvest however and whenever he wants.
