July

 We had so much fun this summer.  I don't know if it was just because I was SO morning sick last summer or what, but this summer rocked!  The kids were, for the most part (besides and occasional Houston meltdown) pretty good, and we had a lot of fun together.  Hannah still slept like a rock star, even with all the moving around which was Super.

Hannah is getting to be more playful.  She loves to laugh and use her hands to manipulate things now.

So happy all the time!

Uncle SAM!   I've always thought he looks the most like Matt did as a teenager.

We spent a bunch of time on the blacktop.

I love this!

Grandma & Grandpa had such a wonderful garden this year! The weather has been so nice.

It was delicious and beautiful.

These purple bean arches were right out the kitchen window. I loved looking at them all summer long.  I also loved eating delicious real beans all summer long.

A Killdear bird had laid eggs in their driveway. They build a little rock nest on the ground. It had 3 little brown speckled eggs inside. I would have taken a picture of the nest, but the Momma & Daddy birds were too intimidating to me, I chickened out.

The best seat in the house, right in front of the fan.

So much cousin fun!
