Holdin' babies and Rockin' out

Missing something, JT?

Owen was delighted to find that cousin Jaydon had left his Disney hat in one of our stollers. It was hidden underneath one of the strollers that we don't use as often so it was a recent discovery even though JT hasn't been here for 2 months. Thanks Jaydon for sharing! We'll give it back to you at Christmas!

Manami is one of our favorite people in the world, and we love getting packages from Japan from her. Here is what her recent box of goodies contained.

Great-grandma with the kids

We has lots of company the last 2 months, and I am way behind on pictures! Here a few pics when my sister and her family, my grandma and my parents came to visit.

July 4th

We had both Justin's side of the family and my parents over for the 4th. Played a little backyard wiffleball and threw pops on our patio. Watched the fireworks from the parking lot next to our house (another plus of the location of our house!).
