 Jesse...

 We just had our 2nd successful date night here in Dallas. Our new babysitter is Jesse. She is a freshman in college (locally) and lives a few streets away in the neighborhood. She is wonderful with the boys and they were even ASLEEP when we got home which is a big accomplishment in our house. Eric and I always have a little bet on who is still up:) So we went to the fancy mall and walked around and had a yummy dinner and drove around Historic Highland Park. A great night...Love, Colin 

Our first "friend" on the tile of the pool. He was about the size of an eraser on a pencil..really..tiny! 

I am paying a fortune for Tyler to learn how to swim..

yet, he only plays on his "play ledge", one day maybe he will get in the water:) 

Mom of the Year again...lunch poolside! 

Chase's favorite toy in the house..the doorstopper..oops it fell off:)

Started crawling 2 weeks ago and he is off to the races...
