Hanging with Her Buds

With these hot Texas days, Bailey and I have been trying to spend as much time with her friends to take our minds off the fact that we can't really play outside like we used to.

The newest friend that we can now play with all the time is cousin Owen or "Hown" as Bailey lovingly calls him. We are so excited and blessed to welcome Kyle, Ali, and Owen to Austin! I forsee many fun times with Bailey and Owen. The week before last I got to babysit Owen for a couple of days while Ali was unpacking. Here are a few shots I took during that time.

This was taken right before we left on a walk. Let me tell you that pushing two toddlers around is more of a workout than you would think!


It was time to eat and Owen wasn't coming to the kitchen as quickly as Bailey would have liked so she was trying to help. As soon as I saw that Owen was letting Bailey hold his hand I ran and grabbed the camera trying to capture the moment, but this was all I got.

Hot and sweaty in this Texas heat.

So these three kiddos love getting into these drawers and re-sorting them. To Owen's right is his and Bailey's friend Emmy, which Bailey pronounes Hemmy. We have been taking full advatage of time with Katie and Emmy before little brother Boone makes his grand appearance.

One of Bailey's other best buds is Abby whom she dearly loves. I took this the other day at Abby's house. Bailey didn't care that her arms were sweating or that there was no water around. Pictures with Bailey and Abby seem harder and harder to capture.

A rare moment when both girls were sitting still the other night at Bible Study.
