Fourth of July at the Beach

Matt's coworker invited us out to their place on the lake in South Haven. Lucy loved the beach but didn't like getting so gritty. The pool was much more fun for her!

She loved the beach grass.

Fourth of July Parade

Our friends, Brian, Jen and Anna, invited us to Ada's Fourth of July parade this past weekend. We had a fun time watching the girls ride the swings and make patriotic "wands." Afterwards, the girls had a fun time playing in Anna's pool. (Anna and Lucy are only 6 days apart in age.)

Kickoff to Summer

Anna and Lucy - that's a laugh, not a cry!
How cute are we?

Rockford had a small town parade and carnival for the Kickoff to Summer. Lucy had a great time watching the parade and eating dum dums with Aunt Mim and Cousin Tallie. Our friends, Brian, Jen and Anna joined us. Anna and Lucy had fun on the rides!

more randoms!

Sunny Days

How cute are these girls?! I had Tallie for a day - we took a long walk downtown Rockford and along the trail. We ended up at Epic, a local coffee shop, for a treat (cookies for the girls, coffee for me!) I love to see them running and playing together.

Dog Whisperer

Cesar - you just have to love this guy. We don't get many channels, but I've become addicted to National Geographic. Mainly because of this fella. I've even gotten my niece, Tallie Rose, into the Dog Whisperer. Because of this man, I "may" want to try dog ownership one day. Under one condition - it has to behave like my childhood dog, Gretal, or Benson, who belongs to our friends the Thorntons. (We miss you, Benny!)
