New bike

Adam got his birthday present early from Grandma Judi and Grandpa Dean. Now he's ready to keep up with Elizabeth.

A is for Adam

My handsome man surprised me by making an A without my help.

A Family Portrait

A day at the beach

Elizabeth spiked a fever but she still wanted to go searching for tadpoles. (sometimes it is amazing how easy she can be!) We spent a couple of hours swimming, playing in the sand, and catching minnows.

My little writers

This has been serious business tonight. This is the first time that Adam has focused long enough to do letters. He has perfected C and V. So proud.

A couple reasons why I love kids

At least once per day, Elizabeth laughs so hard that she gets hiccups. Last night it was swinging at the park. I love it and hope that I laugh everyday.

I bought Adam a spiderman hoodie and he has hugged and thanked me at least 15 times. He is so cool in it.

Cousin Time for the 4th

We escaped the heat and headed up north for the 4th of July. Both kids cried last night at bedtime because, "Grandma's house is so fun." They had a blast playing with their cousins, and this time Grandma was successful in getting a picture of all four kids. Love these! Can't you just tell that they are best buddies. It was fun this time to see that the boys had a great time riding bikes and playing basketball together. And Carly was able to calm Adam down from a meltdown. She held his hand and took him to eat ice cream. I love my nieces love for food!
