Whelp, it’s July. You know, THE VERY MONTH MY BOY WAS BORN A YEAR AGO [what. the. HOW.] and we moved into our little house TWO years ago! and I’m feeling all sorts of joyful to be living in this little town with my little family. We just got back from my cousins houseboat and then had Greg’s friends in town for a couple days, sooo playing catchup while everyone sleeps :) A few pictures below. as is customary ;)

THESE GIRLS. They are so sweet together! Cheeto faces and kisses obviously signal summer.

That girl. She has my heart.

Remember how last time, he was in my belly?!

BEST auntie that can get the boy that doesn’t sleep, to sleep. in a life jacket no less!

Some of the best cousins that ever were

I’m too old for tubing. Says my neck. That wouldn’t move the next day.

When you get back in the boat and your daughter has started a dance party <3

Three generations!

THIS GUY. I love him.

When your older sibling is a girl… you get to wear the pink puffs

Did I mention all my furniture has teeth marks on it?

I apologize but HOW do you pick just one!?

I’m pretty sure they are besties

That glorious moment when…

That form!

Our relationship these days ;) These girls! They were just so dear!
And then these two!
<3
Luke!

Dad’s face ;)
Testing out diaper strength.

Seriously, how cute are they?

Thanks, Coz’s! We had the best time!

But then the next day was the Fourth! Which if you are American at all, is all things wonderful!

We went to a parade cause that’s what you do. There was meat a roasting on a float. Because Santa Cruz. Aptos, rather. 

Hiiiii Mike

Did I mention he’s teething.

Hiiii dad

And then when the fog burned off, my baby girl, who hates all things water, turned into a daredevil pool goer – splashing and jumping and kicking all around! WHO IS THIS CHILD. I was so proud.

Luke, learning the ins and outs of the GT

“So you say 50/50”“Ah, I see!”

These babies <3 I just can’t get enough of them!

So Abbie is back to being all brave and such AND SO we may have gone on her first kiddie roller coaster and I was all sorts of proud of her! Summer, you’ve been mighty fine! Happy July everyone!
