July

We had a great time with my friend Karla and her kiddos, Leah and Blake for a day!  Lots of water fun!  We have been keeping busy when the heat is too much for this mama...by painting, beeswax fun, tea parties, cooking etc.  Im slowing down a bit now that we are into the third trimester with this pregnancy!  Im a bit uncomfortable, which happened with Lucy's pregnancy too--just not this early.  So, slow and easy...lots of movies, lots of books....Lucy has been pretty patient with me and Luke is taking on a lot of the house stuff now, on top of working long hours.  Bless his heart.    LIttle baby is kicking a TON!  altho i would appreciate it if she would rise up a bit ...she's laying pretty low!  A little stinker already! :)  She gets the hiccups quite a bit and Lucy enjoys watching/feeling her squirm around!  We painted the baby room and are getting lots done around here (well I WAS doing alot, til i needed to slow down...now luke is getting a lot done!)  Almost august!  Summer flies by!

Family Frogs and summer eating!

We had our niece Evelyn and the hwole Hall side here last weekend, and captured a few beautiful pics of her!  Lucy is loving all the outside time she is getting this summer.  Frogs are plentiful in our backyard!  She caught one and put it on the fairy swing.  It had a little ride! Then it proceeded to jump OFF the upper deck.  I assume it hopped away--but it was quite the jump!  The pics of lucy snapping beans was a fun time for her too.  We then cooked them up a little on the stove and had them for dinner!  summer fun!  AC out again....(now if our air would stay working.....) that would be nice!
