recap

 summer is flying by. 

 it's the middle of july and the long, hot days are flying by. 

the weather has been great.

we've been busy.  

maybe our second family picture...ever?

fun at the lake.  lucy loves the water and enjoys the pontoon rides.  

she can kick back and relax pretty easily.

 how can you not relax with a view like this?

joe and me over the weekend of the 4th.

 trying to get lucy to sit still, look and smile is a challenge these days!

we have been loving the lake.  time with family and friends.

the beautiful weather.  and all things summer. 

time flies

wow. 

 may is here.  

last month of kindergarten. 

first month of spring after a never ending winter. 

the days are long but the years are short.  

(i think i'm finally understanding this now.)

little lu has grown so much.  i love spending so much time with her.  just this week, she began reaching, pulling, and pushing to get her hands on anything in sight.  gone are the days of simply sitting on my lap and snuggling.  she has finally learned how to roll over.  this happens the most in her crib.  she has no idea what to do when she flips to her tummy.  it's the cutest thing.  i love the new adventures each day brings for her.  

will is getting bigger, and more mature every single day.  he has the best sense of humor.  he can always make us giggle.  he loves playing.  playing. and more playing.  the kid can play hours on end.  i love the surprise 'smoochies,' snuggles and kisses i get.  i can't believe he will be a first grader soon.  it just doesn't even seem possible.
