Another one bites the dust!

Katelyn lost her third tooth!  It was one of her front teeth, and it had been pretty loose.  When I went to pick her up from Vacation Bible School, she flashed her smile (minus one tooth) and said with much excitement, "Look mom!  My friend accidentally knocked my tooth out at snack time!"  She was holding her tooth and a quarter in a ziploc bag (the quarter was from her teacher!).   Her teacher said there was lots of blood, but no tears!  Way to be brave, Katelyn! 

Family Summer Vacation!

We went on a week-long family vacation in Canyon Lake, TX at the end of June and had such a great time!  Thanks to the generosity of one of Dave's colleagues, we had a free place to stay in a condo at a resort overlooking the lake.  Katelyn and Anna stayed with Mamaw and Peepaw in Austin the first night while mommy and daddy went on down to "scope everything out" and have a date night to themselves!  We all met up the following evening in New Braunfels for dinner and took the girls to the resort from there.  We spent the first day hanging out at the resort which included a walk down to the lake, playing mini golf and shuffleboard, swimming at the pool, enjoying the playground, playing games at the arcade (Katelyn hit the "jackpot" on one of the kids games and won 125 tickets!), eating a special ice cream treat, and topping it all off with a family movie night watching Curious George and cuddling up on the couch munching popcorn and M&Ms!

 Playing mini golf.  Note: Anna figured out that you can get a hole-in-one every time if you just walk up and drop the ball in the hole.  Genius!!

The next day we went to SeaWorld and made the most of our time there by playing at the water park (Katelyn even went down some "big girl" slides with Daddy while Anna and Mommy enjoyed some of the smaller slides) and seeing a few shows, including the famous Shamu and a new show called Elmo Rocks! The girls were amazing, and we all had so much fun together!

What a day!

We drove into New Braunfels on our last day and swam in the Comal River.  It was so refreshing and cool on a hot summer day.
