The Past Few Weeks

With warmer days here, I don't seem to keep up our blog as often! These following pictures are from the last couple of weeks:

Lillian with Cousin Dan and Bailey. We went to Uncle David's and Aunt Alvina's after church to see Uncle Chuck and Aunt Maggie a couple Sundays ago. Cousins Dan and Sue were there with their cute dog, Bailey. I had to get a picture of Lillian petting Bailey... she is getting much braver when around dogs (especially cute little dogs!).

Rebecca was even in on the excitement. Here she is feeding Bailey! Who would have thought?!

Miss Kitty, our neighbor up the road who also attends our church, has an outdoor pool! She invited people to a swimming party a couple Saturdays ago... but it was cooold outside! Only about 50 some degrees! Although the water was a nice 86 degrees so it wasn't bad as long as you were in the pool!

Here's Lillian with her friend, Rachel, from church.

Abigail only lasted about 5 minutes in the pool and Rebecca never even went in! They were happy just playing out on the patio.

Here's Lillian jumping into the pool! Well, first she sat down on the diving board and then kind of scooted her bottom off of the board... I guess that's not exactly jumping! She was very brave though to even want to get onto the diving board! She'll be jumping in by the end of the summer...



Some friends from church went camping at the Interstate Park near us. They invited us over for supper at their campsite. The park is so close we just walked there from our house! The kids had a blast together (as always). Their kids are Tyler (11), Isadora (5), Dominica (20 months) and they're expecting a baby boy the same day I'm due, July 17th!



Daniel got the ladder out and in a blink-of-an-eye this is how we found the girls... only a Birx mom would "let" her kids climb a ladder unassisted, it's in their blood!



This is why the ladder was out. Daniel and I have been busy painting our garage! I've always wanted it to match our house. After 7 years of being blue, we're finally painting it red! Isn't it cute? I think it looks like a little country school house! I'll be sure to post pictures after we're done. At the bottom left of the picture you can see part of our new garden. We're very excited to have a real garden... nothin' like fresh tomatoes, corn on the cob, beans, squash, zuchinni...




We had a picnic outside yesterday. It was a beautiful day. I think it actually hit 90 degrees! Rebecca couldn't stay sitting, she was so excited!


Thanks for looking! :)
