Summer Fun

We're having a great summer and staying very busy! Here are some of our pics from the past couple of weeks. Grace continues to excel in her swimming. My cousin Sherri & her family just moved back from Hawaii after being stationed there for four years. I am so glad to see them again! We've been spending time with them the past week. Grace had a blast with their daughter Emma Grace. She even had her first sleepover at our house. The girls giggled and talked and kept each other up way too late, but it was a lot of fun! We are keeping their dog a Whippet - her name is Lilly. She is the sweetest dog and we don't want to give her back ;) My beautiful Grandma Westbury just turned 85 and we celebrated at her pool with a big cookout. Grace swam all day and Abigail enjoyed being held the entire time. I love my girls and how they are already interacting with each other. It is so precious.

At the aquarium with my cousin Sherri  & her family

Grace was so excited to be at the aquarium, she doesn't remember but she has been two other times. She talked about the sharks for two days afterwards.

Grace and Emma Grace's sleepover. Notice Lilly in bed, too.

Erik is the baby whisperer - he rocked her to sleep. Abigail looks so big in this pic!

Abigail's first swim. She loved it! Finally she gets some relief from all this heat.

Celebrating Grandma Westbury's 85th birthday. A beautiful lady inside and out!

Happy 4th of July

Abigail continues to grow so quickly and is such a sweet baby. She is sleeping great at night, too, which makes me a happy, rested momma! We recently took a trip to Bee City to enjoy the petting zoo. Grace had a great time. We took another trip to visit my Grandparents for the 4th of July. Grace enjoyed running around with her cousins there. July has been a hot one, so we have enjoyed going to the pool to stay cool. Grace took swim lessons this week and is turning out to be a great little swimmer. I'll post pictures of that later.
Abigail is growing so fast - what a sweet, happy baby!
