we were driving around looking for a house to lease today when it started raining. after a few minutes, reese said in a very concerned and SYMPATHETIC voice "birdy wet...need rain jacket". i tried reassuring her that the birdies were hiding in the trees from the rain and were ok, but she continued saying it several more times. sweet girl.

reese was a total ROCKSTAR at swim class tonight! she did SO good with paddling her hands ("row row row"), kicking her feet, jumping from the side of the pool, going under the water and even blowing bubbles in the water. i was so PROUD of her!!! daddy was there watching the whole time, so maybe that had something to do with it.

sure - june 3 2010

reese and i drove to dallas for the weekend for our niece claire's high school graduation party. (kyle met us there via a flight from denver the next day) reese was really good on the drive there - even though the car's air conditioning was having issues and kept turning off. she was really GOOD and i was so THANKFUL!

so, we arrived at our friend's new house to go swimming. all of sudden, anytime reese was asked a question, instead of answering 'yes' or 'yeah' or 'yes ma'am', she answered a very nonchalant 'SURE'. it was so funny! it was as if she was trying to be all cool and casual. SURE!

apparently, she continued with the SURE business another day while at munners and g-daddy's. too cute!

she had a GREAT time swimming with cayden, holt and savannah. thanks jay & lisa!!!

boy...friend

reese's first real friend is john austin. he's kyle's project manager, amy's, son. we met john austin almost a year ago and he and reese have spent a lot of time playing together. he's only a couple of months older than reese and they get along really well...most of the time. the exceptions are if reese tries to swipe any of john austin's snacks or john austin has a toy of reese's and she's not sharing well. i know if they could tell you themselves, they would say that their friendship has been a real gift to each of them.

anyway, we hadn't seen john austin in several weeks and got to have lunch with his mom, brand new baby brother, wylie and him today. it went really well. reese was *extra* sweet and gave john austin several HUGS and even a KISS!

john austin is a such sweet and smart little boy and we've really missed him.
