It's Summertime!

Now that Charlotte's birthday is over and it's almost the middle of June (gasp! where has this year gone?!?!) I finally feel like it's summer.  It helps that it's about a thousand degrees outside with an almost constant 100% humidity but that's the price I pay to live in the South I guess. 

We have had a fun past few days.  On Thursday I met Kelly at the late movie(!) which really made me feel 1) old because I am usually getting ready for bed at 8:30 instead of going to the movies and 2) like I was in high school again going to the movies at dusk in the summer.  We had fun catching up.  With two little ones even when we get together we rarely have time to chat because we're chasing after girls and getting things ready to feed boys.  Hopefully we'll start instituting more "girls nights" soon!

Then on Friday we met Caroline (along with Kelly and Tripp) for dinner and Charlotte got to try her first Lo Mein dish.  She has loved the Thai chicken that I get from a local place but had never had Lo Mein.  She gobbled it down with no problems and then pronounced that she was "all done" by throwing her arms up and doing the "all done" sign!

On Saturday we met our friends Thomas, Reese, and Jana at the pool to wait for the Daddy's to finish golfing.  As opposed to last week when Charlotte wouldn't get in the pool other than to kick her feet while she was sitting on my lap.  This week she stood in the baby pool for almost 45 minutes walking around and splashing.  I can't wait to see her next week in the big pool with Daddy!  After Jason got done golfing we  had some lunch.

Her "smell the flowers" face cracks me up! And C, I apologize for not realizing your bathing suit was a little too big until we got to the pool.  Thankfully Memma suggested using a ribbon to keep the straps up and soon after this picture was taken we remedied the situation.

Sunday was a catch up day and Charlotte spent a lot of her time sitting in Daddy's lap watching her new Elmo dvd and playing with Daddy's Sonic straw.  The joys of being one!  And after dinner we took a walk to the park!
