MORE JULY: A couple of favorites

I did my first painting in July! I have not forgotten it! And keep reminding mommy! :)

Love this one! Sophia and Daddy reading The Three Bears.

JULY continued...Playing in My Room

Holding my first baby. I'm rarely without her!

Now I'm holding my second baby. This is my reading corner.

My babies are reading. Mommy did not help with this display!

JULY

Sophia's on the 4th of July~

Having some watermelon on the front porch and wondering who Daddy is talking to in the yard (it was some Jehovah's Witnesses who dropped by)!

At the Mayborn Museum with our dear friends--Aunt Megan and Connor Evans

Sophia at the wheel!

JUNE

These were taken late May or early June. Nevertheless, they are my JUNE post! These were taken at Mimi's house in Bryan, Texas on a weekend visit and at our house when Mimi came for a visit.

Daddy and Sophia playing Mimi's piano.

On the back porch at Mimi's. Is that doggy I see on the other side of the fence??!!

Looking kind of sleepy on Mimi's lap, but don't you love the orange gingham outfit?!

Having my first animal crackers with Mimi!

Mommy's been holding out on me all this time! I like these!

MAY

I am posting MAY in August because I am seriously far behind and being held accoutable to CATCH up by Aunt Mary Nell! I think I needed some accountability after four months, don't you!? It's been a busy time.... So I will post a few pics for the last four months, then hopefully I can get it together over here! Sorry everyone! :)

Here are three photos from May in Austin. Sophia and I spent quite a bit of time there with Tim and Uncle Alex, where Tim stayed during the work week.


Daddy and Sophia having a serious chat. (haha) These chairs were outside the restaurant we ate at that night and Sophia has a thing for chairs right now. So she took turns sitting in each different chair. :)
Uncle Alex, Sophia and Tim out to celebrate Tim's birthday!

Our little family. You would think we were at the Coca Cola museum but we were actually in a State Reps office! Very unexpected, right?!

Sophia Claire Visits Dada at the Texas Capitol!

It's the little things...I sure like this fringe!

Pretty comfy chair, Bryan! And fun buttons to push (for casting votes)!

This is something new!

My first speech on the House Floor--with a little help from Dada!

Hey friends,

Last time we posted it was November and Tim had just finished law school. Things have been very busy since then, BUT we recently got some great shots of Sophia Claire visiting Tim at the Capitol in Austin where he's working now! We had such a great time seeing the beautiful Texas capitol. These pictures were taken on the House Floor where the members debate various bills and cast votes.

Sophia Claire turns one!

Getting dressed for my party!

Happy Birthday to me!

One year ago today, At 10:39 p.m., on November 21, 2007, our little Sophia Claire came into the world! What a wonderful Thanksgiving present you were... And what a wonderful year it has been.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sophia Claire!

Mommy & Daddy
