What. A. Month.
I recently heard a joke that all of adult life if saying, 'I think it's gunna slow down next week!' and yet...here we are! zipping through summer!
I look back at some of these first photos and I can hardly believe it was all in July!
We got things going with a four way birthday celebration with the Taylors! Cute cakes required.
Her bbff (baby best friend forever) :) :)
Fourth of July weekend was slow and fun, all in one!
There were sparklers...
Boating and games...
Cousin time...
A beautiful brunch...
Loading up at Lowe's...
Power washing and ice cream...
Splish splash everyone needs a bath...
And even an evening at the ballpark...
Gabe. I am thoroughly enjoying raising Gabe and noting his personality. What a guy.
Preschool fun with a total flop of a craft project! Whoops!
Our cousins came for VBS week and what a week it was!
Ice cream with Sam!
Happy Birthday Handsome Pete!!!!
Rather than let the day go by or have a huge todo, we had a driveway party, with excellent cake! Perfect!
Our new play set worked its magic and attracted allllllll the kids!
What a crew! What a night! Thank you to all who love and celebrated Peter :)
Let's get together, yeah! yeah! yeah!
Handler time out: SCORE! Free chair we intended to buy!
This sums up a lot of days around here, and I'm SO happy! So very happy!
Our friends moved...we're checking into flights.
Park day! Yay!
Poor kitty! Sometimes I momentarily feel bad for her. Sometimes...
Summer swim!
He's one! We have a one year old!!!
Our big birthday boy!
I love the way they (sometimes) look at each other 😂

Why thank you!
Yum! A job well done!
So many friends, so much fun, so many gifts!
Better nursery time made possible by Cheerios and Goldfish!
Lake Days!!! Yay!!!!!!!! Ahhhh :)

Relishing our lake days with friends
Some days are, 'sure, wear your unicorn ballerina play dress to Meijer' kinda days...garnering many compliments of course :) and her friendship bracelet too :)
Kids day at the Coast Guard Festival!
HEART EYES!!!!!!
Matchy matchy sweet brother and sister
This kiddo. Plays hard. Feels strong. Imagines much. Challenges us. She's our blessing, we love her :)
Handler time out: more harvest :)
And a refreshing night with friends
Rounding things out, she's so interested in helping and is getting so good at it too!
I can think of several other occasions and people we spent time with in July that didnt get in a photo; we are blessed beyond measure and are so thankful to love and be loved :)
And we're already WAY into August and we've had so much fun and there's more to come!
Who's got it better than us?!
