Schaeffers Come to Town

The last weekend in July, the Schaeffers came down for a visit. Clara was so excited to have a sleep over with Luke.

Here they are enjoying some cupcakes.


Dinner chaos - singing at the table (Pop-pop would not be happy). In case you can't recognize the song in the cacophony, it's Alicia Keyes - "New York"!

Back Home/End of July

Dressed as a bride in honor of the weddings Mommy & Daddy are traveling to in August.


Chillin' after a fun day at the pool.


Home Depot


Jack's new fav - beans and rice!


Showing off her birthday tutu from Nay-nay


Playing with Daddy's "little computer" aka the iPad.




All set to go to the store but not quite ready to stop playing.


Jack was traumatized by losing his balloon to the wild blue yonder. So he hung onto to the replacement and Clara's for the rest of the day.


At the park


Our friend returned our exersaucer after having borrowed it for her little one who has since out grown it. Of course it was the number one entertainer the week before it was once again put up in the attic.




Previous last pictures in the exersaucer...
Jack: October 2009 - 6 mo old


Clara: August 2009 - 2 years old


Good to know it is still entertaining and sturdy!

Berenstain Bears Week at Grandma's

aka Clara & Jack spend a week with Nay-nay & Pop-pop!

One of the big highlights of the summer has been the week that Jack & Clara spent with Nay-nay & Pop-pop while Brec and I attended a wedding in Northern VA, followed by a week in Raleigh on our own. They had a great visit!

Backyard pool time!






Post-pool snacktime




Eating peaches with his shades on.


The week isn't complete w/o a visit to "Lucy's pool" aka Ridgetop.


Jumping off the steps at the shallow end


Jumping off the side




The boy won't nap, but he gets his rest where he can...

at a towel at the pool


or on the kitchen floor.


Why post this picture of Lucy's room you may ask?


'Cause there's a little Skeekbo hidden among the pillows!


Then to top off the week, everyone headed to Memo & Augs' house.

A trip to Memo's wouldn't be complete w/o a makeover.


Check out his new haircut.


Lunch out on the patio.


The other subjects of this picture may not approve, but I had to post it b/c I liked the way I looked. ;)

Back yard pool time at Memo's!
