We have been very busy the last couple of weeks. Rylynn has been able to spend lots of quality time with her cousins. Last weekend we had a "girls" trip to College Station. On Saturday night Aunt Rebecca had all her nieces (and sisters) over to play. We spent Saturday night playing Wii, Twister, and baking cookies. Sunday morning it was total chaos getting all four ladies ready for church plus the four munchkins. We topped it off with lunch at Chicken Oil Co. and then headed home. The two little ones slept nearly the whole way home, they were worn out! We had a great time and can't wait to go back and see Aunt Beba.
When Rylynn and I got home on Sunday I began unpacking and repacking! Monday morning at 6am I loaded her in the car and the two of us headed to Corpus Christi. Gilly's Mom, Nana, Aunt Roxann and Sisters were spending a few days in Port Aransas with the kids and Rylynn was going to get to spend time with them while I worked out of our Corpus office for a couple of days. I was so bummed that I did not get to spend any time playing with her on the beach, but I know she had a great time. Little Miss Independent loved the fact that she could be turned loose to crawl and splash in the waves without anyone holding her or helping her. She was a maniac! Gilly and I are just dying to take her back one day soon! And I know Rylynn will enjoy going each year with the girls and cousins.
On Saturday, Rylynn and I went to our community pool and were pleasantly surprised. They have a great zero edge area where once again she could play and splash all by herself. She loved watching the other kids too! I wish I had known that the pool was so great earlier in the summer, I think we would have been there all the time. But we still have a few weeks left and we plan to visit often!
The big news on the home front is that Rylynn is taking lots of steps!! Yay... finally! I don't think we can call it walking because she'll only travel in short distances, but it won't be long before she's running around the house. She gets a kick out of herself and is really proud of her accomplishment. I can't wait to post video of her toddling around.
She's continuing to learn new words everyday. She really likes the word "baby" and says it very clearly. She also can "moo", "nay", and "baa" appropriately when asked about each of the animals. but my favorite, favorite new word is "animals"! That's a three syllable word!! She says it so cute too!
Anyways, I think I've got you all caught up on our busy last few weeks. I'm still without a camera and feel lost without it, but I promise next time I'll get some new pics up.
With love . . .

We went to the beach every weekend last year until the first weekend in October and the water was still in the 80's. I actually liked the beach more in Sept. than I did the rest of the summer. It's not as hot outside but the water is still very warm.
We've been a few times this year, at the start of the summer the seaweed was really bad but now that it's gone we're there a LOT
