Well the month of July has come to an end...almost. We continue to play and enjoy life!
Every once and a while the kids have a "parade". Thankfully they are usually in the mornings because I don't think I could handle a very loud drum and cymbals in the afternoon!!
This little one LOVES her outfits!
A dress is always the first choice!
Fernie likes to dress herself...
Aaaand this is what happens when a ball rolls under mom's van while the engine is still hot...oops! Both kids benefitted from this mistake, they each got to pick out a new ball at the store that weekend.
Always happy after eating out...and drinking chocolate milk!
On July 20th Caroline was dedicated at our church. It was a very nice ceremony (even though it felt like a circus on the stage!). And if you are looking for Fernie, she IS there...just standing behind me! The pastor said Caroline meant "womanly/little woman" and Elizabeth meant "consecrated to God". He prayed for wisdom and guidance for Zack and I in raising our daughter. He also prayed for Caroline in that she would present herself to God and become a woman who fears the Lord. It was a very heartfelt prayer. As a side note, I feel terrible I didn't even plan a little celebration for her as I did for all the other kids. We just went out for coffee after church...
Oh a cold pool feels so good on a hot day!
Jack had his last day of tennis today. He is really going to miss it.
He had another great month of tennis.
Jack won the tennis shoot-out!
He played and practiced very hard.
We all love getting Caroline after her nap.
There is ALWAYS time to read books with dad.
No better way to improve hand-eye coordination than catching bubbles!
Finally a book I can eat!!!
It's always more fun watching TV with "friends".
So serious.
"I have something to say!!!"
SO Big!
"Check out my muscles!"
Caroline loves her little jumper.
Silly boy!
I came home from a meeting and look who greeted me at the door!
Papa Love!
I told the kids to smile and say cheese...this is what I got!
