Bathing Beauty

Life's a Beach!

Life's sooooo difficult for the newly designated "beach bum!"

Sitting Up!

Brendan taught Roo to sit up (unsupported!) Although, he did lend her his favorite puppy for "moral" support! Yay Rylee! Another milestone conquered by R. Campbell!

Roo's Injury

Roo got hurt at school yesterday. It was an accident. Pure and Simple. Accidents happen. (Ask Chris... who currently has no skin on the side of his leg from an "accident").

So... Roo got hurt at school, and to add insult to injury (literally!), they had to change her clothes. Folks, they sent her home... in an Eagles onesie! Thankfully, Chris changed her out of that "rag" before I came home -- otherwise, we'd be daycare shopping this morning!

Swim-a-roo

Rylee went for a swim yesterday in her ducky tub (thanks, MattKo!)

She's growing up so fast that Chris and I have whiplash! She's soooo talkative (wonder where she gets that?) and this weekend she discovered that she can get from one place to another by just rolling and rolling and rolling. This morning, she rolled onto her belly and quickly "popped up" onto her hands and knees and began to creep! Excuse the pun, but it's all moving a little too quickly for Mom and Dad.

Oh, before I forget, there won't be videos uploaded for a while... while throwing Roo's toys into the ducky pool yesterday, Mommy threw her camera in as well!

4th of July

We had a very productive and FUN-FILLED 4th of July! Rylee went swimming for the first time in her Aunt Dana and Uncle Kevin's pool. Thanks for the strawberry swimsuit, Ma!

Brendan swam underwater for the first time and exclaimed, "I love to swim underwater!" We were all VERY proud of him... and he got an ice cream sandwich for dessert (homemade!)

Rylee trusted Daddy to dip her in the water, but she thought the water was a bit cold. She quickly asked her Daddy to remove her from water!

Swimming with Daddy, Uncle Kevin (who makes the best grilled fajitas EVER) and big cousin (the fearless!) Ry Guy!

Roos first trip in a tow truck -- PRICELESS

Chris and I started our day with the perfectly simple plan of taking Roo on her first trip to the Philadelphia Zoo to see the other roos. Of course, everywhere Chris and I go... disaster follows. We made it all the way to Interstate 476 just outside Philadelphia when the car quit on us! It just stopped!

I don't know what my favorite part of the day was... Roo's first trip in a flat bed tow truck, the colorful words that began spewing from Chris mouth, the terrific picnic lunch Rylee enjoyed during the hour we spent on the side of the turnpike, the 85 degree heat, the bright orange rental vehicle that finally got us to the zoo or the 10 mile hike from the zoo's back-up parking lot (otherwise known as a local little league field).

Chris and Rylee in the back seat of the tow truck. (We had to wait for a special tow truck to come from the other side of Philly, so that Roo would safely be in a back seat -- as you know, most tow trucks only have one bench seat).

Chris feeding Rylee in the safety of the zoo -- much better than the side of the Interstate!

Rylee outside "Big Cat Country" at the Philadelphia Zoo... wondering if we can go home yet! BTW: she slept through the kangaroo habitat!

Carry & Gary Sittin' in a Tree...

I'm soooo proud of my husband, Gary! He did a great job speaking to about 50 members of my Kiwanis Club on Wednesday morning. See more pics by visiting the Kiwanis Club of Palmer Township's homepage -- http://www.palmerkiwanis.org/
