Summer in Houston

What a FANTASTIC Houston trip. Best yet! The weather was perfectly hot for days at the pool. Wether in the pool with Vanson, or hanging out in the pool with Nonna, my girls (and I) love the water. We are so proud of Emma, she's now swimming like a little fish without any floaties. It's amazing what exposure and a little guidance can do. Anyhow, we somehow fit in spending some good time with Nonna, Nonno, Rachel and the kids, a little bit of Leo, and a few friends... and just because sometimes overdoing it is fun, we had a photo session for the kids, I got to take my Dad to a spa pedicure (with vino) for Father's Day, I got a massage, worked out, annnnd snuck away to Austin for two days!

Blue Lagoon?



This picture makes me laugh. Doesn't it look like they are in some fancy hotel bathroom that they shouldn't be in? "parrrtyyyy!"
Father's Day Brunch (Mark, you were very much missed)





First time for ice-cream from an ice-cream truck!
Rachel was nice enough to host a playdate with Jack, Hayes and baby Kate. It was great to see them again and actually get a fun picture with all the kids (minus Kate who was sleeping soundly)


A night out with Nonno at his favorite place
Emma being thrown in the air, shocking.

Time for a water break after playins soccer with Nonno... the obvious thing to do is go steal some from Jack
