It’s always neat to go back and look at pictures of Becca and see how much she’s grown. In the pair fo photos above, the picture on the left was taken on March 31st, when Becca was 18 weeks old, and now here she is 20 weeks later. This week, I took out the giant bear to help Becca practice sitting up. Of course, Becca had other ideas. The picture on the right shows what Becca really loves to do with her animals – yum, yum!
This week we enjoyed some more fellowship with friends. Friday night we went to René and Yani’s home and enjoyed a lovely dinner, while Becca and Amaris played. Saturday evening we had Steve and Kelly Walter over for dinner. Steve is on my dissertation committee and is providing the Eritrean data I’m working with.
We went on a little vacation this weekend from Sunday evening to Tuesday morning. We used our credit card point to stay in a hotel in north Fort Worth. Our vacation “goal” was to relax and enjoy having an unscheduled day. I brought most of our food and we enjoyed a morning swim in the pool. Becca got to wear my old baby bathing suit.
We could also call it our Lord of The Rings vacation. This summer we’ve been reading through The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, so on our vacation we watched the first LOTR movie and made good progress reading The Return of the King. (We started reading LOTR in Greenville in June. It was on the bedstand in Caroline and David’s guest room, and it’s always been one of Josh’s favorites. So that became our new read-together book.)We had a delightful time and it was a good break before Josh’s semester starts next Thursday.
By the way, if you like cute babies, check out the latest pictures of Bella Eliesse Floyd, born to David and Caroline Floyd on August 9 (yeah, 8/9/10!). (Caroline is Josh’s sister.)
Yay! So glad you got to get away before the start of a new semester!
So, I’m slow to comment today, but you guys were the first people I looked at when I got my computer to boot up today. Miss you all. I love the vacation pictures. So many favorites in this post!
Loved the new pictures! So glad you guys got to go away for a couple days before the semester starts. “Hotel vacations” are so much fun – we love those as well! The boys loved seeing Becca reading the Toes, Ears, and Nose! book.
Sounds and looks like you all are enjoying each other very much. Glad you were able to have a little vacation. I love all the pictures but especially the last one of Becca with a spoon in her mouth. Her eyes are so beautiful – even has her daddy’s long eyelashes! Our prayers will be with you, Josh, as you start school next Thursday. Love you all!
Wonderful vacation! One pic looks like Captain Bill’s (do I remember the correct name?) in Cape May, but the food does not look like pancakes covered with strawberries!!!! Was Becca really wearing the same bathing suit that you wore? Glad you both had a time of relaxing before starting the fall program!!!! Love, Grandma
