Summertime...and the livings' easy...

We have already had so much fun this summer and are looking forward to many more summertime memories with Eleanor. Our 8Th wedding anniversary is July 3rd and Michael & I both LOVE the 4Th of July. I was on bedrest the last two years for both events, so we are very excited to be healthy, happy & full of life!!

Ron LOVES Eleanor & Eleanor LOVES Ron!! They are best friends and Ron is never far from her side. He is such a sweet cat & tolerates Eleanor's frequent petting (& hair pulling!)

Aunt Abby & Uncle Todd visited last weekend & helped celebrate my parents
40Th wedding anniversary. We stayed overnight at my parent's house and had so much fun with everyone. Eleanor swam in their pool for the first time & had a BLAST! She is an absolute fish & loves the water!

Eleanor & I have been hanging out together during the day while Michael is busy working. We miss him a lot, but have been keeping busy in the kiddie pool on the back patio :)



With much anticipation, we celebrated Michael's first Father's Day as a Dad. I have been pregnant for the past two Father's Days, so this year was "heaven sent". The three of us had a very relaxing afternoon together, then my parents came over for a home cooked meal. We are truly blessed to have such an amazing baby girl & Father's Day was a great day to reflect the joy that she brings us everyday :)



Eleanor's cousin, Emma, turned two on June 18Th. The older kids had a blast going down the slide while the little babies played in the kiddie pool. Braden is 8 months old and such a sweet little man :)




The president of Eleanor's fan club is Grammie Janet! She is also Eleanor's babysitter on Fridays and doing such a great job! She even brings her to my work so I can nurse her in the afternoon. What a babysitter!! Thank you so much Mom...we love you :)
