Lily with two of her biggest fans, Aunt Ingrid and Grandma

More swimming

Suzanne and her family stopped by St. Louis for the night on their way to Ohio for their nephew's graduation. They were not here for long, but the girls really enjoyed seeing each other. Lily, in fact, spent a good half-hour this morning detailing all the reasons Mary and Katie should move into the house that is for sale next to us.

This little boy loves, loves, loves the water. When we pulled up to the pool, he started clapping and could not get in fast enough. As with most things, he is probably more brave around the water than he should be.

Triple threat

First Haircut!

On Wednesday night, William had his first haircut ever at around 19 months. He did a great job and sat in the chair like a big boy. Since our first haircut place was completely booked, we had to go to a place called "Sweet and Sassy". He didn't mind though. :)

Lily got just her second haircut ever. This place was definitely geared toward the little girl crowd, and Lily loved the sparkly face paint, hair glitter and fancy styling that came along with the haircut.

An afternoon at the pool

My mom's community pool opened for the season, and we are so excited. Lily has been asking when the pool will re-open since about the day after it closed last season. We have already been there twice since it opened on Friday! On the first day, the waters were absolutely frigid. But Sunday was a super hot day, and the water while still cool, felt great. William seems to like the water just as much as his sister, and we plan to spend a good deal of time in the water this summer.

Sunday at the Strawberry Patch

Saturday at the Science Center

Both of the kids were into this tornado simulator. I think Lily was particularly into it due to all the tornado business around here lately.

Daddy survived a day with the kids at the Science Center :)

Summer is here!!

The summer is off to a fantastic start! Friday was the first day of Lily's summer vacation, and we hit the Magic House for a members only morning to check out the new exhibit, Alice in Wonderland.

William's favorite exhibit

Lily with Alice

Lily loved the Mad Hatter. He was really funny!!

The outdoor garden was open just in time for the beautiful weather!

A little cautious at first...

Frolicking fun in the sun
