Grandpa Greg's Visit

My Dad was able to visit us for a week and meet Alexis for the first time. Aunt Danielle and Uncle Trevor were also able to visit us. We had a great time. The last time the four of us were together was New Year's Eve in 2007. Way too long.  Here are some fun pictures from their visit.

 Playing with Alexis

 My Dad decided he would twirl each of the kids around in a circle and then throw us into the deep end...just like when we were kids.  It was fun.

We celebrated my Dad's birthday while he was visiting.  He turns 65 on July 15th.  We made French toast for breakfast, strawberry shortcake was our dessert.  Danielle did a great job cooking.  Yummy!

 Happy Birthday Dad!  A new laptop so we can continue to Skype each week.

Danielle, Trevor, Grandpa Greg and Jessica

We were at Discovery Green in downtown Houston.  We visited Allen's office and the apartment complex were we lived.

 

We had a wonderful visit and hope we can do it again soon.  Love you Dad.



Our first Father's Day

We had a relaxing Father's Day. We stayed home and enjoyed the day together.

                  Ready to open gifts

                This card tastes yummy 

                    Love eating the bag

          Daddy do you like our gift?

Gift from my Mom...s'mores maker for the BBQ. Alexis looks excited. 

Allen is a wonderful father and Alexis is very lucky. We love him very much. Happy Father's Day Allen. 

Solid Food for the First Time

We fed Alexis homemade rice cereal for her first solid food on June 19, 2015. She  really wasn't much of a fan.

You can tell she is excited. She is grabbing her foot. 

Enjoying the first bite

Ok...not enjoying it. Is it my cooking??

We will continue to try new foods. Hopefully we find something she will eat. 

First Time in the pool

The first time Alexis went into the pool was on June 3, 2015.  She loved it! She enjoyed her float for over 30 minutes.  Since then she has been in the pool numerous times.  We love how much she is enjoying it.  We also love how tired she is afterwards...she has no problem going to sleep after being in the pool.

 Alexis was more interested in eating the toys on the float
