More Summer Fun


We enjoy trying to squeeze all 4 of us into pictures! We call this Evy's "pirate face."

Below, Evy is reading a bedtime story with cousins Maddie and Megan.

Violet and Grandpa are buddies. Here they're taking a nap together.

This picture just makes us laugh.

Happy Violet!

Evy likes to help in the kitchen. We're hoping she has a promising career ahead of her in the culinary arts.

We're making a salad together. Evy likes to use the salad spinner.

Last week we took advantage of the unusually cool weather and went to the zoo with Grandpa and Grandma.
This is how Evy wanted to walk all morning.

Violet enjoys relaxing on Dad's chair.

Here are a few videos for fun.
In this last video, Evy is eating a tomato. At the end she says, "Ready picture!" ("I'm ready to take a picture!")
We're having a great year with our tomato plants. Last week we had some friends over for the evening and they brought some cookies for dessert. Our friend Meredith gave Evy a chocolate chip cookie before we went out back to look at the garden. While eating her cookie outside, Evy noticed a beautiful, ripe tomato so she handed her half eaten cookie to Meredith . . . so she could pick and eat the tomato instead. Evy'd rather eat a tomato than a cookie I guess.

Violet's Newborn Pictures


Here's our little Violet, a week and a half old, posing for her newborn pictures on Daddy's guitar. Don't worry, she doesn't usually sleep on Josh's guitar; it just makes for adorable, memorable pictures!

Nana made this cute crocheted diaper and I (Mommy) made Vi's hat. A good friend of Uncle Ken and Aunt Anna's took these beautiful pictures for us.





Nana made this cocoon too.

Just look at these beautiful lips!




Big sister Evy counting Vi's "piggies."

I wonder what she's dreaming about...




Such a beautiful baby!
