Summer Fun!

Here are some pics in our backyard...playing on the slip-n-slide and the sprinkler thingie. We're so happy to have a yard big enough for this! Our friend Evan (and Mommy and baby Luke) came to play last Friday.

We also went to a little playdate last week where a mommy had an underwater camera! She got these great shots of Leo...

Speaking of fun in the sun, we have had some great excitement this summer with Henry and the Saga of the Sunscreen. Everytime we've put sunscreen on him this summer, he has gotten it into his eyes and had a horrible reaction. Much more than just a little fussing. Enough to totally ruin three outings - we had to come home. After the last one - a family pool outing where H and I had to leave after 30 minutes, I have gotten an advanced degree in sunscreen ingredients and their possible effects. Turns out that Henry has a strong reaction to sunscreens that use chemicals as their active ingredients. We are now having to special-order mineral-based sunscreens that use titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide. Right now, we are using Blue Lizard. I also have some Dr. Hauschka, but we haven't tried it yet. It smells so sweet that I'm afraid it will attract insects. We are anxiously awaiting the return of California Baby, which is having problems keeping up with demand. The Blue Lizard does a much better job - we have only had minimal eye-rubbing and no crying since we discovered The Lizard! We are all having to use it b/c he can get it on his hands and into his eyes from touching any of us. No more easy spray-on sunscreens for us - we're back to old fashioned hand application.

New pictures...

I know I am way behind on pictures and no one wants to hear the "we moved" sob story once again! So hear goes! LOL!

I went to Austin with my BGFs Carla and Allie. Carla is an alcoholic.

Just kidding! We went to a cool restaurant that did wine tastings!

Eating at the zoo. Eating lunch is NO REASON for Leo to stop talking!

Killing time in Plano while Leo was in preschool. This is a picture of mommy torturing Henry in Garden Ridge.

Henry demands a "flip-flop" in the middle of Garden Ridge.
