BEFORE.....
.....and AFTER.
We'll keep the curls for now, but it won't be long before we'll have to trim those too.

First Haircut
This past weekend we decided it was time to cut Knox's hair. We're not quite ready to lose the curls yet...so we just trimmed the front. We were visiting Dad and Trish , so we set him up in the booster seat and Andrew trimmed him up. Knox was a little restless at first, but the girls brought him a toy to keep him entertained. He's getting so big! ( For those of you keeping track-- he's 15months old, 30 inches long and 24 pounds)

Rough Riders Game
A couple weeks ago I was able to take the girls to a Frisco Rough Riders baseball game. I was given free tickets from work. Andrew was out of town for work, so I invited Dad and Trish to go also. One of Knox's best buddies, Uncle Jim, came to hang out with him here while we were at the game.
We all enjoyed it. We got a "VIP " tour of the park beforehand and our picture taken on the field, as well as all you can eat hot dogs/hamburgers, etc. If you ask the girls what they did at the game... they talk of eating chips and drinking Dr Pepper. I think that was the highlight for them. But I know they also enjoyed all the sights and sounds ( the Chicken Dance!) and the new baseball caps they got.

First Campfire
Several members of the Lowery side of my family gathered this weekend at Joe Pool Lake to camp and celebrate my cousin Elsie's birthday. The kids and I went out there with Dad and Trish for a few hours on Saturday afternoon. It was the kids' first campfire. They enjoyed being silly and exploring by the water. Maybe next year we will stay the night.
The girls wanted to get much closer to the lake....but this was close enough for me.
Jerzy and Grandaddy have a chat while they wait for cousin Warren to grill dinner. I think they were discussing whether they would have a hot dog or a cheeseburger. Or maybe it was a Bud Light or juice box debate?!
Jerzy and Knox were winding down, so they stayed close to Grandaddy and Granny Trish as it got dark. All 3 kids zonked out less than 30 minutes into the trip home.

Once it got dark, Shelby was full of energy!! She loved singing songs for cousin Carrie and the rest of the campfire crowd.

Band-Aids
The girls love band-aids. I don't know why, but they do. Each time we get a new box, I have to hoard them away and pretend as if we don't have any, until they are absolutely necessary. Friends and family know that band-aids make a great gift.
Sometimes I give in and allow the girls a few to use on their baby dolls (dolls in our house seem to get lots of boo-boos!) or to decorate themselves. However, recently the girls got new shoes which have caused a few sore spots on their feet. Jerzy had a scrape that got worse when she bumped it on her tricycle. Shelby decided she was better equipped than Momma to render first aid. She took very good care of her sister.

Quick Visit
On Friday, Aunt Brennan was on her way back to NYC from San Francisco, and had a layover at DFW for a few hours. The kids and I picked her up , went to lunch at Chick-fil-a ( something she does not have in the big city!) and then played in a nearby hotel lawn area. The kids loved the attention and new clothes ( notice the tag still on Jerzy's shirt) that Aunt BB brought them.
Outside Fun
When we have nice weather the kids really enjoy being outside in the yard. The girls enjoy swinging , sliding, climbing, riding their bikes, pulling each other in the wagon and Shelby has discovered the joy of throwing a frisbee. Here's a few pics of our greatest ways to wear the kids out.
Look Who's Walking
He's been holding out on us! The switch finally flipped! Knox is WALKING!! Woo hoo!
He decided it was time last Friday . He's pretty proud of himself. We've had a fun time watching him go for the last week. The girls like to share the news with everyone they talk to.
He still crawls if he wants to get somewhere quickly, but he's not afraid to walk in grass or dirt, or on concrete. He also thinks it's great fun to join his sisters out in the yard- making his way under and around the playset. He'd like to climb the ladder if he could!
