Happy Child?

For those of you who may question just who is the happiest child in the WORLD, we submit Exhibits A and B for your consideration. (I'm pretty sure Hazel has it locked up.)

Update

I know it has been ages since our last update, and we appreciate Hazel's loyal fans so patiently awaiting this post. Things have been busy in the McCain household. Glenn is finishing up his thesis, and plans to schedule his defense for next month or early July. I have started work on my masters degree, and go to class Monday night and Tuesday night. I also have an online course which takes far more time than it should. Hazel is still enjoying school and we are everyday expecting her to get up and crawl.

This weekend we spent Sunday at the zoo with the Patterson girls. We were so busy chasing after everyone that we didn't have a chance to take any pictures. (The fact that we were overwhelmed caring for four children at once for only a day is, I suspect, why life only gives us one baby at a time. I can't imagine being the parents of twins or (gasp) quadruplets!) Hazel loved playing with her cousins and she didn't think the zoo was half bad either. She especially loved the dolphin show, but I think that was to be expected of our little water baby.

We are excited about the summer. Warm weather can't get here fast enough and we have big plans for this summer. A small taste of those plans includes baseball games at Victory Field, the Burton family trip to Disney World in June, a possible trip to Huntsville for the fourth of July, and lots of swimming and playing outside.

I will post a few pictures of Hazel and Audrey playing in Audrey's crib together on Sunday, as well as a video of Hazel's latest trick.







Hazel is clearly more interested in the camera, but you get the idea. (She's beginning to love the limelight as you can see.)

Congratulations Anne!

Auntie Anne made us all very proud on Saturday when she participated in and completed the Indianapolis 500 Festival Mini Marathon. Anne ran the entire 13.1 miles and finished in under 2.5 hours which was her goal. Glenn and I watched the girls and made sure that they made it to their softball little league opening ceremonies, so that Tony could be at the race to cheer Anne on. He sent us this action shot from mile 10.

We are so proud of Anne!
