Father's Day and Swimming with friends

Father's Day was pretty uneventful, but very nice and quiet. The kids always get so excited about a special day to celebrate. Eva got up first thing in the morning, (The way she tells it is that Gabby woke her up first to remind her that she wanted to make breakfast for the whole family) and made all of us scrambled eggs with toast. She did such a great job and was very proud of herself for making breakfast alone AND cleaning up! We were super impressed.

After church the kids played and later we went swimming with some neighborhood friends. Ellis is enchanted with the little girl because she owns a real live hampster...something neither Trip nor I want to jump into purchasing. I had a hampster as a child named "Digger." That poor thing died of neglect I am certain. It seemed like such a good idea at the time of purchase!

For now, Gabby is the best summer pet we could ask for.
