Just pics (late June)

Father’s Day Weekend *

Well, we had a great father’s day weekend, minus pics of Drake and Karlie for now until we get mom’s camera. We left our camera at Papa’s house in Coolidge. Drake and I enjoyed some time alone fishing (had no luck this trip), while Mamaw and Poppy kept Karlie. They are really good with her and I’m so glad that we are closer than Katy, even though it’s not close enough most of the time. We went to see Drake’s oldest brother Wayne and his friend Brenda for the first time at Papa’s in Coolidge. Papa and Karlie are always glad to see each other and still says Papa pretty well on command… cute, cute. She She is still working on Dada…

Karlie is really getting chunky as someone at Wal-Mart confirmed today after she said, “She looks mixed!” Can you believe that, I replied she’s Chinese matter of factly and she said ….oh. I’m sure that’s not the last comment we’ll get…LOL. We are getting ready for a trip to Dallas to visit my extended family who are having a shower for us on Sat. We are excited to see everyone and introduce Karlie to everyone who hasn’t met her yet.

I wish summer lasted forever, it seems to be flying by already…

More later!

Father’s Day Weekend *

I’ve got the hang of it….I think! :)

Drake has told me how to post pics and I cannot stay focused, so tonight I wrote it all down. We are just fine and are really enjoying our summer with Karlie. Bubba, Drake’s dad, stayed the night last night and today we all traveled to see granny in Waco. We enjoyed everyone, especially Papa’s visit! Karlie can say Papa, baba (Chinese for daddy), and of course Mama. She also knows her name and says Karlie, Karlie, Karlie with her finger in her mouth when she is really sleepy, so, so cute. You have to hear it to believe it, but it’s true! We ate at McAllisters and made a trip to Target! Drake has to work in the office tomorrow so we are working on a new wallpaper type message for her room that I think will look great, I’ll put pics up if it turns out! Here are some recent pics of our girl. Her hair is really growing and she is really a character! Thanks for the well wishes and continued prayers! Ya’ll come and visit us!!!

June 1–more china pics

Sorry it took so long for us to update our blog. We both are back teaching now so it is hard to find time. When we get home we want to play and love on Karlie, which leaves little time for blogging. But we only have 2.5 more school days, so we can do better soon. Here is some more pics from our china trip: our group’s babies on the famous red couch, dad and Karlie at the famous “Lucy’s” restaurant, mom and Karlie napping at the white swan hotel, and Drake’s guess of the infamous “TANK” site in Tian a Min Square.

1st trip to Church!

Sunday, June 1st was Karlie’s first trip to church. We attended FBC Killeen and she did really well, until the preacher started his sermon. Then she decided to talk and babble and coo. Karlie and daddy listened from the foyer……She loved the singing, but we are not sure the Baptist appreciated her dancing to all the songs……Here is what she wore……and one more zoo pic……
