stephen + rachel + kate + charlotte: Father's Day, River Fun, and the Fourth

As you can tell from the title, I'm a little behind on the blog! Kate will be 10 months old tomorrow so we'll take a look back at the fun from the past month.

Since we were in Florida for Father's Day, we had our own celebration the following Sunday. Stephen didn't seem to mind the delay and was excited to be served breakfast in bed by his two favorite girls.

Kate thought she'd help Dad eat his fruit.

After enjoying his breakfast in bed, Dad must have thought it was time to go back to sleep. Kate doesn't seem to mind the mix up and loved being read Goodnight Moon.

Here she shows off her sassy side. This has become a new favorite face.

Once everyone was dressed we had some more surprises for Dad.

Yummy pickles!

And for the grand finale a wine fridge so none of Dad's fancy California wine goes bad in the Texas heat.

To kick off the long Fourth of July weekend we headed down to Wimberley. My friend Colleen invited us to her family's house on the Blanco River. They have a beautiful home with a fabulous deck overlooking the river. Kate had so much fun playing their daughter Elizabeth. Here we attempt a girls picture.

While there isn't enough water for a float trip, we did cool off for a bit in the river.

Thanks Kelly family for such a wonderful time!

Back in Austin Kate decorated her stroller and got dressed up for the annual Northwest Hills Fourth of July parade. I can remember decorating my bike for this same parade many years ago. Kate loved waving her flag.
