more summer time.

hello!
whew! it has been a while.
we have been busy, busy, busy!
now, sitting here going through the last 3 weeks of pictures, helps me process the days.
isn't it crazy how fast time passes?
but looking back on all we have done does show me a lot of days.
a lot of playing,
snacking,
talking,
driving.

way back in the middle of july, my sisters & brother-in-law & nieces all came back from south carolina! there was a fun wedding, a mini birthday party for B, the pool, late night gas station runs, & coffee. Darrin & Kami both were helping with their churches youth retreat, so they went back & Mary + the girls got to stay a bit longer! so more coffee, the zoo, the farm, the fair, the rodeo, & back to the gas station for snacks.

so excited to pick up our cousins at the airport!

five sisters back together. a very good thing.

marys best friend liz had an amazing wedding! B danced to every song.

love getting to snuggle my mollyanne.
