While You Were Out

Mommy and Daddy fled Texas to venture up to the Northeast. We escaped the heat and enjoyed cooler temperatures of Maine and Massachusetts. While we were gone, our children were in the FANTASTIC hands of Nana and Zayde. Here are the pictures taken in our absence. They were kept fed, very busy, and mostly happy.

They went to the new compound in Driftwood for some playtime.

Then the kiddos of Team Cohen got to be THE VERY FIRST people EVER to try out the pool.

I think they liked it.

Playing in the backyard another day:

Keeping busy means getting messy sometimes.

Gabi thinks she's pretty sneaky.

Another day, another trip to Driftwood:

On July 28th, my big girl officially got her "half," turning 5.5 years old. Nana helped celebrate by providing baking assistance for some special cupcakes.


Even though Nana and Zayde were excellent companions, Gabi, Ethan, and Spencer were fortunate to spend time with their favorite Austin cousins also!

Gabi got to pick up Joey from school.

Nana reads with 3 grandsons in her lap.

On the day Mommy and Daddy traveled back to Texas, they ran into Andrew and Wesley at Springwoods Park, and they all allegedly played very well together. Thanks to Alice for sharing these pictures!
