Raining and cooler here again today. Although I was bummed we couldn't go the beach I'll take the cooler temps as they are so unusual for this time of year... It really feels like a summer afternoon in the mountains, totally bizarre! Our odd weather is courtesy of a tropical storm, Derby I believe. We've had a good week. Love sweet summertime! Thomas got his first first place last Thursday at his swim meet, they swim again tonight and he's excited! It's been wonderful to watch him improve each week.

                         Fun pool date with our friends from Thomas' 2 year old class at Westminster! So neat we still get together!

                I nurse and rock little miss to sleep for every bedtime and nap time. What a sweet time it is, just she and I and the hum of her noise maker... She props her feet on my leg just like this each time...

                                                  Sporting our 4th of July stuff a little early!

                                                   More sweet nap time moments with Hartley.

                                    This was the first time ever any of my children have had their faces painted. Face painting and tattoos were something neither were interested in. West was so excited to have a          doggy! Isn't he sweet?

          This sweet little boy is quit the miracle.. My friend Lisa lost her daughter at 30ish weeks due to IUGR, it was awful, terrible, heart breaking.. This little one, baby Brenden comes on the heals of that loss, we are all so thankful for him!

                    Hartley has her eyes closed here but isn't she cute in the water! She loves it!

             West just loves to dress up! Today he put his doggie costume on and Hartley's on hers also. They were both running around barking like little dogs. I could eat them up!
