Summer is here!

And we have already been busy! Last week Abby took her first trip out of the great state of Texas and joined Carl and I on our trip to New York for Liz's wedding! Abby was a great traveler and we had a great time visiting with friends and celebrating! When we got back, we spent the following week in Dallas visiting family and friends. it was a fun way to start the summer!

While we were gone, Abby turned 4 months old! She is getting to be such a big girl and doing so well! She has rolled over from her tummy to her back a couple of times, loves standing up and holding on to your hands, and she has also started sticking out her tongue if you do it to her first! It's adorable!

Luke is having a great month too! He had fun with Nana and Aunt Kelly while we were in New York, and he had a great time up in Dallas bossing around Nana and Opa's dog and swimming in Grandma and Grandpa's pool! Lately Luke has been working on letter sounds, and he can now tell you the sound that every letter makes!

Here are a few pictures from our summer so far:
