We loved seeing Miss Elsie Beglin. We really liked making kissing faces with her. Oh and it was fun to see her parents too, but we didn't like them enough to get a picture with them.
This double rainbow appeared while Elsie was here. Even the weather wants to put on a good show for her.
This somewhat-creepy picture is posted for three purposes.
It pounded the car with wind and rain while lighting flashed and thunder crashed all around us.
It made me feel a little scared.
But Rock helped me laugh it off.
He pointed out that there was loads of fun to be had -- looking in our Washington DC map and banging on the cooler.
Thankfully, we arrived at Papa John's birthday dinner in time to enjoy his puppets Hugo Horatio Hound and Mickey Moose.
Rock also got his first two top teeth (he now has four on top... more pictures on that to come) during the month of June.
Throughout the month of June, Rock spent a lot of time working on standing. I liked this wide-leg pose.
And yes, he can clap and hold the wide-leg pose at the same time. We are so proud.
Fix started the weekend by cutting Rock's hair in the AWFUL manner pictured above. Because the next day was Father's Day, I decided to allow Fix to live. I tried (didn't really succeed) to make Rock's hair look a little better and then we (Rock and I -- we left Fix at home to finish his sermon) went to the BOWIE BAYSOX GAME to see Rock's Grandpa Rocket throw the first pitch.
Here he is (in the center of the shot above in the yellow shirt) right before he threw his first pitch. For the record, he was one of about 12 people who threw "first" pitches at this game.For those of you who care, here's a video of the big moment!
Rock was so proud of his Grandpa. He also loved trying to steal his Grandpa's beer (see the delighted yet mischievious look on his face). All I can say is uh-oh.
It was Flag Day so they gave out free flags at the game. Rock did not put his down for about 8 days after the game. He loves anything that can extend his reach.
Mother and Son and mom's free New England Financial hat!!! One of the many perks of coming with the man who throws one of the 13 first pitches at the Bowie Baysox Game.
For Father's Day, I decided to try making another carrot cake. Since the recipe I used for Easter didn't turn out well, I found another and gave it another shot. Again, I made my own icing without corn.
Although this was much better than the attempt at Easter, it was still dry. I think our oven runs hot.
However, Fix still loved it. That is, until he got his gift from his son...
Only 9 months old and he's already out-doing his mother!
Then, while we were on vacation, Fix's computer crashed. That is the computer we use to download pictures. So, although I took HUNDREDS of pictures while we were away, I can't get them up on the blog just yet. He is out getting a new external hard-drive today and as soon as he gets his laptop up and running again, I'll get some pictures/videos/news up here on the blog. My apologies for the delay. In the meantime, enjoy two of the awesome shots that Aunt Susi took at the Fix beach week.
