Catch Up on Summer


It's been a good summer thus far for our family! Just as usual, once July 4th passes, the summer seems to fly by. I can hardly believe it is well into August already.


Here are some pictures from our busy Fourth of July. I was so excited to put the kids into the Children's Parade for the first time. She rode in the wagon with a friend, while the men carried the boys in backpacks. We mommies waited on the sidelines to cheer them on as they passed by. Since it was such a warm day, I was glad to be watching instead of walking!!




He was enjoying playing in the wagon while we watched the big parade...and it was the only shade near us on our side of the street! Next year we will either reserve spots on the opposite side or bring a canopy and make it a fun BBQ with drinks for everyone.







She was great at interacting with the parade. She became quite adept at clapping and waving at the parade participants. It was so cute to watch!














This was taken during the annual Church in the Park on the Sunday before July 4th. It was, once again, a beautiful, warm Sunday for sitting outside! However, I must confess that I had to take her to the playground to play about halfway through the service!









Here she got to play in the fountains across the street from Daddy's work! We've done that a couple of times now...







This is our 9 month old little charmer! He now has two teeth, which have contributed to a slightly more cranky disposition than his usually very happy self!!
