12 of 2012: Best Memories from June 2012

In June 2012 we welcomed the summertime and the blazing Texas heat :-) We celebrated Grace's 5th birthday with a fun party at the Austin Children's Museum and had a memorable Father's Day weekend. Martin and Amber closed out the month with a weekend away in Dallas, while the kids had many adventures with Nana and Pop-Pop.

May 2012 included birthday celebrating galore, meeting a precious new baby (born to Amber's college roommate, Casey), and Martin surprising his family in Ireland at his Dad's Surprise 60th Birthday Party. You can see the surprise moment, which was captured on video, here.

Celebrating Emily's 6th Birthday

We had a great time today celebrating sweet Emily's 6th birthday! She had a bowling party, and both kids had a blast :-) This was Colin's first time to bowl and he was into it. Thankfully, there were no bowling balls dropped on toes and only two minor meltdowns when the party was over.

Happy Birthday, Emily! We love you so much!!!
