Our life lately

Here are some pictures to commemorate the last week in the Dillard household:

Oliver graduated from the Aquatots program at Emler Swim School. He did SO awesome. He went from being afraid of the water (would even cry through EVERY bath), to swimming on his own underwater for 10 seconds! Wow. A. Maze. Ing. We were so proud of his courage and hard work. Here he is with his ribbon and t-shirt that he got at the last class!



One of Gabby's sweetest... and pretty much only... girl friends stayed with us one day last week. It was such a fun day! The girls played so well together - they are only a few weeks apart in age. Georgia is such a sweetie and loves Gabby. She even named the baby doll she sleeps with baby Gabby. How cute is that. We look forward to having many more girly times together.




Aunt Natty and Uncle Matt drove up from New Braunfels for a visit last weekend. It was great to see them - we hadn't seen them since Natalie graduated from grad school in May. We had a relaxing weekend just enjoying each others company. The kids played and played with them and wore them out! Oliver revived his favorite Uncle Matt game ("hot chicken" - don't ask) and the kids enjoyed having some big playmates who were willing to play anything they wanted to! Fun times...





And then tonight we celebrated the end of our summer playgroup with an ice cream party at Henry's Homemade Ice Cream. It was a wild time... you can imagine when you see how many kids were there! We were the only people in the place at the time so it worked out well. We've enjoyed meeting with these families once a week all summer and passing the hot summer days together. To celebrate our fun summer, I made matching shirts for all of the kids with cute little Texas cut outs on them. We tried hard to get a good picture in. Check out this good lookin' bunch of kiddos! We love you all!


Starting in September, we will begin our new fall schedule. Back to preschool, MOPS, storytimes, and the kids attending a program at Bible Study Fellowship one day a week with my mother-in-law! Our weeks will be much fuller and more scheduled which will give this exhausted mommy a much needed break from being their personal entertainment director. Good times... but change is good.
