The beginning of August has been pretty entertaining up here in Memphis. Gryffyn is becoming more animated and TALKATIVE, which Hannah is feeding off of pretty well. The first two pictures are from Gryffyn finding something funny (no idea what it was) and Hannah feeding off of that energy and getting the giggles herself. Of course, this made Dan and I laugh pretty hard too!

Our Trivia Group had a party for two of the members the first Saturday of August. This was a party to celebrate Brandy's birthday and Stephanie's birthday. We had a lot of fun, and I got to enjoy my first Key Lime Pie made by Mary...it was amazing and she claims very easy to make!

Here are a few pictures from the gathering...

And two traditions continued that night for the Trivia Group...

(1) If one of our girls can't fall asleep, we just hand her over to Tom...minutes later she and Tom are BOTH asleep!

(2) One year old finds everything Eric says SO entertaining!

The next day we enjoyed some Eat Well Chinese Buffet where Hannah chowed down on some corn on the cob...

The girls have also enjoyed some time with their Aunt B and Uncle David. This past week Brandy and David's air conditioner at their house went out and it took a week to get it repaired. This was extremely inconvenient for them (not enjoying the comforts of their own home), but we enjoyed having them as house guests. Hannah liked following David around the house and waving goodbye to both Dan and David in the morning when they left for work. Gryffyn got some extra attention from her godmother and even got Brandy to sing to her.

My other favorite from this past week is Hannah watering the plant out front with her dad. I love this plant that I got from my parents this past Mother's Day, but am horrible at remembering to water it! Thank goodness for Dan and Hannah.
