What I Love About Sundays

A little afternoon BP for the little cousins while the big cousins play catch on the other side of the yard. 

I love watching our kids grow up together. Just like my brother, my sister and I, they truly are each other's best friends :)

The 4th and a First

We got a new car. Our crossover was maxed out with 2 cars seats in the back and a stroller in the trunk. We got a really good deal on this one and so far we super love it. 

Our family photo from the 4th. I was kind of impressed that we're pretty much all looking at the camera. Small victories :)

You can't celebrate 4th of July without some water fun. Squirt guns with her cousins.

My little tiny baby trying to grow up on me

Her first play date with friends of ours from VA. Their interaction was one of the cutest things I've ever seen. They actually cooed back and forth at each other. It was adorable.

Lazy Sunday - I love it when she wants to play "happy nap."

Weekend in Photos

It's been a quiet week for us so far, but here are some photos I meant to share from our weekend. We hung out with family, as usual :)

{As you can see by her wrist fat and cheeks that are wider than her head, she is so malnourished that she must resort to eating her own hands. Poor baby.}

{And then there's this one who had to stop and "take a break" while walking 50 yards to our car. You can tell she had played hard though :)}

{Every so often we have a Mary Kay party with my mom, sisters and cousins. I'm a total makeup junkie.}

...and back to our quiet Monday

Rain Check

I feel like a lot of my post titles have "rain" in them lately. It's been a rainy end of spring, I guess.

Today we planned to meet SIL Nennie at my in-laws' house to swim, but it rained. We decided to get together anyway and take a rain check on the swimming. It was still a fun day of playing, talking, lunch and coffee. 

Riley was totally impatient with Carsen's casual approach to lunch. 

Father's Day

Father's Day at Oriole Park!

Happy Friday

Despite many reports of wild weather in our area yesterday like this photo posted on Facebook by a local meteorological group...

{yes, that's a funnel cloud, a tornado was confirmed} we managed to get only about 10 minutes of hard rain out of the "super cell" storm that was forecast. 

Today temps are about 20 degrees cooler and the humidity is almost zero. We even had to wear hoodies when we went outside this morning. After several recent severe weather events, it was nice to see a clear blue sky even if it was a little cooler.

Carsen celebrated by drawing a dolphin :)

Happy Friday!

Fun Before the Storm

Today was gorgeous and we spent it splashing around at Nana's house.

Everyone was sufficiently exhausted from our fun in the sun. Good thing, because tomorrow we're supposed to have crazy super-cell storms so we'll probably be stuck in the house... hopefully not stuck in the basement.
