Picking Watermelons

Earlier this summery Abby and BB planted a vegetable and fruit garden in our backyard. They have been diligently checking it for the last few weeks and watering the plants. This week we finally picked one of the watermelons! It was a little small, but really dense and Daddy said it tasted very sweet. Abby was very excited about her first "farming" adventure. Allison was so excited she fell asleep while eating!!

Summertime...

Abby and Allie spent the last week or so with their cousins Reece and Avery.  For the first part of the week the Cains came up to Arkansas for a visit. We went to visit the the nature center, the barn to let the kids take their first tractor ride with Papa and played around the house. The last half of the week was spent at the lake house. Papa and BB got the kids a floating couch to ride behind the boat. The kids loved it....all of them except Allison, she's still too little for that! We spent most of the days on the boat when we were at the lake house. When we weren't on the boat, the kids were playing upstairs having a blast! By the end of the weekend the older ones were zombies from being so worn out with all the activities!

First Day of School

It's hard to believe Abigail started her last year at CEC. She started Preschool 4 today! She was a little nervous even though she knew most of the kids, but we know she'll get used to the new surroundings in no time. Allison stayed in the infant room, she's still too little to be moving up, but there were a couple new babies for her to "play" with!

Ledezma Visit

This week the girls were out of school on "summer break" so we were very excited that Grandma and Grandpa came to watch the girls, while we were at work. We were even more excited when we found out that Seth and Nathanael were going to join as well. Abby loves her cousins and we know Allison will too when she gets a little older. The kids had a great time over the week and we were sad to see them go. We're so thankful that we could spend time with Grandma, Grandpa, Seth and Nathanael!

A trip down South

On Sunday, we headed down to Texas because we had some meetings on Monday morning and afternoon. It was pretty neat because the girls got to take a ride on the new boat. It was Allison's first boat ride and we were a bit worried about her comfort since she had to wear a bulky life vest the whole time we were on the boat combined with the fact that the girl runs hot! However, she was very happy the whole time and even snoozed through the first part of the ride. Abigail thought it was awesome and got up in the drivers seat with daddy for a little bit. She kept saying go faster!

5 Months Old!

Allison is 5 months old! It's hard to believe how quickly she's growing and it seems that she will not be a baby much longer sometimes. All her teachers tell us how smiley and happy she is. She's doing great eating solid foods. In fact, we started sweet potatoes this weekend and she loves them. We'll keep adding new foods for her to try once a week or so. We're also making her baby food instead of buying canned just like we did with Abby.We're hoping that it will help avoid the yucky skin reactions Abby had. Allison is nearly over the nasty cold she had last week, but she's still not back to sleeping through the night. She's getting up once a night because her nose gets stuffy. Once we rock her for a couple minutes to clear her sinuses she goes right back to sleep.

Allison the Model

 This weekend we dressed Allison in one of the dresses Abigail wore as a baby so we could 'recreate' pictures. The similarities between the girls is astounding and sometimes its hard to tell who is who!
