A cute face

See, she really can put her whole foot in her mouth!

We went tubing on the lake . pastor Mooore went pretty easy on Mommy, ubt he threw Daddy and Andrew around a bit!










Grandpa lets Esther try to eat Grandma's toast.

Esther's first boat ride.She got sick afterwards, but maybe that was from Pastor Moore's crazy driving:)

Happy on land again!

Rachael and Lauren

Lauren flew in from Oklahoma and came out to the islands for the day. We had lots of fun.

I think you might be too young to drink out of that Esther!

















Andrew, that might work better in the water.

Relaxing with Aunt Rachael at the camp site.

Sitting with grandma with her sunglasses

















The lake at night!

We got to go down to the rocks and Daddy went off a cliff with his kayak! A little crazy, but we love him anyway!



















A Family portrait. Notice mommy's hiding behind daddy to hide her"baby fat".

On the forth of July there was a picnic at the Veterans Memorial park and pastor Moore and Pastor Dennis did a baptism in the lake!

Aunt Melissa got her hair cutting lisence! Congratualtions Melissa!

I guess all that Baby Mozart is paying off!

A tender moment between cousins!

Relaxing with Grandpa Ciccarelli


Eating peas

And playing with cousin Cody. They finally notice each other and Cody actually gets jealous when his mommy holds her:) Maybe it's because she still has more hair than him.

Aunt Melissa came to baltimore for the first time and we went to see Billy Graham at the Oriol's park.
It was probably the last time he will ever speak publically and it was quite amazing to hear him speak! Lots of people came to Christ that weekend!

Esther tried to eat the camera. It was quite comical.



















Chewing on her teething ring!

These are pictures of my beautiful garden. It needs to get weeded, of course! It makes me so happy because it's my first real garden. WE have already harvested two huge zucchinis and tons of cherry tomatos. There are some peppers growing and pumkin, corn and watermelon onthe way!!
