7/4/13

This holiday has never been my favorite.  I am not a fan of fireworks set off by neighborhood kids (or adults).  But I was a fan of swimming and grilling with good friends

7/3/13

They all really wanted to swim, but the water was freezing so mostly there was just talk about swimming.

7/2/13

Our new patio dining set found on clearance!

7/1/13

I have reached the halfway point!  Phew, this is quite the large undertaking.

Emily, Sophie, and Lydia played in the Heslinga's new van for at least thirty minutes happy as clams.

6/30/13

Sometimes this whole playing all day thing can be exhausting!

6/29/13

Grandma, Emily, and her new baby doll.

6/28/13

A little quality girls time.  Sophie loves her "pink toes" and is sad that the polish is starting to chip a little.

6/27/13

Grandma Ruth was a real trooper, and very brave to get into a car where Emily was behind the wheel.

6/26/13

Someone, the powers that be determined that at just over 36 inches, Sophie was allowed to ride most of the "big girl" rides.  She had an absolute blast, and I held on to her with a vice grip.

6/25/13

A big highlight of our trip was a visit to Kennywood with virtually no waiting in lines!

6/24/13

Headed back to Pittsburgh for some girl time with grandma Ruth and aunt Elsa, but we also got to meet little Monty.

6/23/13

Girls are playing outside all day!

6/22/13

Emily and our neighbor. Anyone who can get my first born to climb a tree is special.

6/21/13

This girl loves her Oscar.

6/20/13

Checking out our new library branch. Thumbs up from everyone.

6/19/13

Watching some early morning PBS with dad.
