Visiting with Deborah & the kids

We had such a great time with Deborah, Erin & Grady while they were here after our baby shower! On Sunday, we went to church, had Chinese for lunch, took naps (the kids did anyway) and around 3:30 we headed downtown to the Botanical Gardens. Erin was far more fascinated by the fountains than anything else, but we had a great time being outside and enjoying the cool weather anyway. Here are a few pictures from Sunday.

Monday David had to work, so Deborah and I lounged around with the kids until he got home. Erin got to play her favorite game here, throw rocks and stuff into the water under the bridge behind our house, and we created some masterpieces on the driveway with sidewalk chalk. When David got home, we headed up to a super cool playground where we expelled the rest of Erin's energy and had a great time once again soaking up the cool weather. There was a section of the playground that was perfect for Erin, but when she got bored of that there was a small hill that Deborah and David taught her to roll down. What ensued was a round of much laughing and great photos.
SwingingErin in her cool shadesI love this "snarl" face Erin is making now, it always makes me laugh!! I'm gonna save this one for her wedding slide showErin playing on the playgroundAfter Deborah tried it out to see if it would be safe, David took Grady down the big slide - I wish I had a picture of Grady's face after the ride, but I was laughing too hard to take one.
Let's just say he didn't love it.David & GradyI have a whole series of pictures of David posing like Grady,

LOVE the pics-you chose alot of my favorites too :0) Blayne and I were going through the pics last night and laughing hysterically at the ones of David imitating Grady and the ones of Erin screaming. Good times! Love you and am thinking of y'all and praying for you as you go through these last weeks!
