Home Sweet Home

Now, this was something we did not see at all in Texas with 100+ degree temperatures. The rain was a welcome home gift that we enjoyed (and made our family in Texas jealous)

Eleanor needed to try out her new rain boots and since it was summer, a bikini to go with them :)

Emerson is an active boy who pulls up on everything and sometimes closes his fingers in those drawers- he is learning from his mistakes though!

Michael's had some great free crafts that were good to do inside when it's hot outside. This is Eleanor's Nemo fish that Mommy helped her make

We also joined the YMCA before the summer started so we could enjoy lots of time at the pool/waterpark! By the end of the summer, Eleanor was going down the slides! (The nice thing is that the lifeguard catches them at the bottom if they need it- maybe next year she won't!)

There goes the cute standing boy again!

We couldn't get one with his eyes open, but he is too cute "walking" along the couch

In order to get Eleanor to nap, we let her do it on the couch in the living room.  Hey, whatever works, right?!

Emerson is a happy, smiley boy who loves his big sister!
