Finding Nemo






This month we celebrated Mimi and Papa's July birthdays (pictures above) and we had a great weekend visiting with Jenny and Ryan who had not been in town since Easter. Julianne loves nothing more than having a house full of people and singing happy birthday. On Sunday we went to the Aquarium downtown and much to Julianne's disappoinment (more like devastation) they did not have a tank with Clownfish (i.e. Nemo) which we told her they would have. Her bottom lip went out and she was soooo disapointed and heartbroken. Andrew bought her a stuffed animal Nemo, but she was still not satisfied. It made me realize that we have to be careful what we "promise" her and what we tell her because she is taking everything we say literally and expects us to deliver. So, the other day we ventured down to the Houston Zoo and found Nemo. She was so happy and it made my heart smile.
