Matching Besties!

Trix bought Lucy Kate and Eme matching outfits and we had a photo shoot of the cuties wearing them!

These were probably some of the best pics we have of Lucy Kate so far..

They’re holding hands, are you kidding me???

What cuties! They loved being twins. Luke held both babies in his arms and asked Calvin which one was his sister…he got a little confused, but he kept saying “2 Lucy Kates” :)

LK definitely has her mommy’s round face!  She doesn’t seem to be able to keep her mouth closed either :)

A ‘Wacko’ Independence Day

For July 4, we headed to Waco to hang out with Drew, Rachel & Eme!  We decided to hit up the zoo when it opened to take advantage of the “cooler” hours.

Drew was Calvin’s bestie all day, and it started as soon as we got going at the zoo.  Drew was great with him, even though Calvin kept pulling him in every direction :)

Lucy Kate wasn’t too excited to see the elephants…maybe she’s not my daughter??

Because we were there so early in the day, all the animals were pretty active.  We even heard this lion roar!

The tigers kept attacking each other, it was awesome!  Normally all the animals are so lazy, but not for us!

Calvin was being a punk and didn’t want to take a picture..

After the zoo we ate at Chuy’s then headed back to the Erwin’s house.  We spent the afternoon napping and, of course, playing games!  Before dinner we decided to go play at the splash pad in their neighborhood.  Lucy Kate seemed to enjoy it most of the time..

Just not here…

Eme decided it wasn’t worth her time to get wet..

All bundled up!

After drying off we had a super awesome 4th of July dinner made up of hotdogs, steaks (which were amazing!), mac & cheese, salad, fruit and chocolate chippers.

Then we ended the night playing Catan and watching fireworks on the tv :)  It was a great day and we were glad to spend it with great friends!

Nature Tour

Luke took us on a nature tour a couple of weeks ago.  But before we headed out, we ate lunch at Dahlia Cafe, a little hole in the wall place in Liberty Hill.  We will definitely be going back because it was awesome!  And apparently there is live music on weekend nights.

Dahlia Cafe

Calvin got a Batman and Robin toy from my dad’s old boss as a big brother gift, so I made him a “Buttman” shirt…Yeah, it’s pretty funny to hear what Calvin calls things :)

Look at the bird!

Calvin’s new mode of transportation is jumping.

Lucy Kate basically slept through the whole adventure, but what else is new?

Trying out our new camera lens.

But I don’t want my picture taken..

There were a bunch of trails that we could’ve walked, but it’s summertime in Texas, so we decided to wait until fall to check those out!
