The Man Likes His Cowboy Boots

For those of you who only check my blog for baby pictures (you know who you are :), here are a few from June and July. Enjoy! πŸ™‚

I think Gabriel may be getting into a Cowboy Boots phase. We have a pair someone gave us that he can finally put on and walk around in, even though they are still too big for him. He wants to wear them all the time! Notice the blue Spiderman sunglasses he has on too. Too. Cute. 

Playing at the park behind our house

The big stone ball at the splash park in Hermann Park was the highlight of his day that day. Gabriel LOVES balls of any kind, including balloons, which he calls balls as well. 

Gabriel enjoyed climbing up and down on the landscaping stones more than he liked the splash park area…but that’s OK. 

A pic from our miserably hot trip to the zoo with some friends. We had a very good time overall (we got to feed the giraffes $5 pieces of Romaine!), but it was so ridiculously hot that both of us were just pooped by the time we got home! This photo is indicative of how Gabriel’s mom felt most of the time we were there too. 

Gabriel and Michael before Michael took down the old swings set in our backyard one afternoon this week. My husband has more energy and work ethic than anyone I have ever met. I think he had an afternoon coffee that day, which always has the effect of making him Super Productive (on top of how productive he normally is with his time, which is considerable!)

Sitting inside of a new toy my friend Shelly gave us this afternoon. This toy has one of those twisty-wire-thingies that fits on top that you roll little wooden shapes around on. Gabriel’s favorite part of the toy is sitting in it though.

Hi there!

I'm a south Louisiana girl, Catholic wife, writer, speaker, and mother of six. Since I started my blog way back in 2009, life has been a roller coaster of babies, plot twists and a plane crash or two. I've been chronicling things here as I've been learning to love and suffer and laugh and trust in the goodness of God in the ordinary and the extraordinary--with a little espresso and a lot of Divine Mercy.
