Good Times with Uncle Donnie and Aunt Debbie
While in Florida we spent two days with Aunt Debbie and Uncle Donnie. It was a lot of fun and the girls really kept us busy. We went to the mall, park, Aunt Debbie's parents, and sisters house. The girls loved playing at Donna's daycare and all the animals they got to see including the potbelly pig. Annika kept saying "I ride it". Thanks Uncle Donnie and Aunt Debbie for such great memories.
A Visit to see Dr. Landay
While in Florida the girls needed to go to the doctor. We took them to see Dr. Landay, which was Ricky's childhood pediatrician. They really liked him, although this was before the throat culture.
Baking Cookies with Mimi
The girls love to help in the kitchen, so when Mimi said bake cookies they were ready. In one of the pictures Annika decided to take a break and eat some dough.
Cookout at the Essex Home
Each year one of Ricky's professors and his wife have a cookout for the students in Dr. Essex's discipleship lab. We had a great time of fellowship and the girls loved playing in their back yard. They have a trampoline, tire swing, ping pong table and a really sweet dog named Lacy. Dr. Essex grilled for us and Mrs. Louise made great sides, and even gave Bailee a tour of the upstairs. Which is funny because when they came to our house for dinner a few weeks earlier, as soon as they walked in the front door Bailee took Mrs. Louise by the hand and said do you want to see my closet? Bailee, Bailee, Bailee!! Here are a few pictures from the evening.
Fun in the Hammock
We all loved the hammock, and took turns laying in it. The girls piled on top of Ricky, and Bailee had Dr. Essex give her a swing.
Seminarians playing Ping Pong
Here are a few of Ricky's classmates playing ping pong at the Essex's cookout.
Fun in the Tire Swing
Bailee really enjoyed the tire swing, here she is getting a push from Daddy and Mrs. Essex.
Annika and Lacy
Annika loved following around the Essex's dog. I think Lacy finally gave up and just sat down and let Annika love on her.
Happy Birthday Ella
Annika has a sweet little friend named Ella, and they look so much alike. Here are a few pictures from her birthday party. Annika is crying because I put the birthday cone (as Bailee calls it) on her. Happy Birthday Ella!
Morning at the Park
The girls love to go to the park, and could stay all day! This morning we packed a lunch and had a picnic. The squirrel in the picture kept coming up to our blanket, turns out he only wanted some granola bar.
