whew, sorry for the delay

I know it's kinda hard to see but this is our first photos of little Chloe at 17wks. My brother in law said it looked like she was trying to tell her loud family to quiet down a little w/ her finger over her mouth like that. :)

Abigail enjoying her buddy Elle, but I'm not sure if Elle was enjoying her at this moment. :)

she loves playing her "tar"

beautiful sunset made for some sweet pictures

It was a beautiful Memorial day weekend down there

Our bellies full of grilled burgers Dad and Brian got into discussing who knows what.

Well it took my hubby Master Yoda computer guru some time to fix our jacked up computer. We got something funky in it and it wouldn't read my pictures from my camera card among other problems. Needless to say this DiDN'T make for a happy Alli. So he backed our photos and important docs onto an external hard drive and striped this thing down to nothing on the hard drive and reformated the whole thing from scratch. Now she's working like a charm and back to normal. Go Brian! So I have some fun new lake pictures I've been wanting to share and even a new one of our sweet little 2nd girl miss Chloe Brianne (named the girly version of Brian after her sweet daddy......we will forever remember this big year for the both of them). :)

So, quick update, we are doing great. A good nibble on the house this week, time will tell. Trust me a breaking news report blog will go out if this woman who's seen it now 3 times will actually come through with a proposed offer. Please pray that would be so fabulous. And little Chloe is getting bigger, doing good. Brian is doing wonderful, less dizziness, more energy and sleeping better. The Bit is our joy as always and getting more brilliant and beautiful every day. She is thrilled with the onset of the summer (as I am!) so she can hit the lake and the pool. She is even more fearless then last summer and will be swimming w/o a life jacket for sure by the end of the summer. I had to just watch her and let her walk right down the stairs to our pool yesterday (w/in arms reach) she hadn't put her swim ring on yet and she just went on in the pool w/o hesitation. Of course her little body just sunk to the bottom and I promptly fished her out w/ a big fat reminder "sweetie, you WILL sink if you don't wait to put on your swim gear". An "Oh, yeah mommy where is it" followed.

Well I'll do better now posting the cuteness and ok, some of the mommy chubbyness I am undergoing now. God bless the summertime!!!
