St. Pete Surprise!

A while ago I told you about how Uncle Mike, Aunt Pam, and Mollie surprised us by coming to St. Pete at the same time we did. Finally, here are the pictures!


Notice Hobbes in the left hand corner. He had never met Mollie because we don't really trust him around small children. However, we didn't know there were going to be any small children, so we brought him with us! He was pretty good with her, and she liked him. I think he was jealous of her because she got all the attention! He would bark and growl his "I want attention!" growl every time she was around! (which was a lot =))


Aunt Betty hadn't seen Mollie very much before, and she just loved on her!


Mollie loved her, too!


Gasp! The rare Mollie snuggle!


Gasp! The not-so-rare green bean face.




Later, Mollie had her first swim!


Look at her cute little hat!


Aunt Holly had a bit of fun with it. =)




What is this strange liquid I am sitting in, Father?



I love, love, LOVE this picture.


This girl smiled in almost every picture we took! We couldn't believe how much she had grown. She was laughing and smiling and rolling over and river dancing! (ahem...look here. She would do that all time!)


My mom was so incredibly excited that Mollie was here.




One day we went to an Italian place that Uncle Tommy told us about.


It. Was. Amazing.




Do these not look delicious? I got one myself.


It was delicious.

You probably know that Joel loves cheese. Well...


Welcome to cheese heaven.


With free samples!

I shall conclude with some family photos...





Does this child ever frown? She sure loves the camera. =)




I love you, Mollie Moo!

If you give a dog some peanut butter....

...he'll love you for the rest of his days.

...oh, and he'll never stop licking.

Picture Perfect


I saw these chicks at the park the other day! Isn't this the most adorable picture? They were very cooperative models.
Today is the last day of summer! Bring on high school!
P.S.
Happy birthday Sparkle!
