Summa, summa, summa-time...

We've had a pretty great summer....one-hundred degree heat and all.   We've even made it outside a few times...

Shoe shopping...how do these look, mom?

Do you see the turtle?

What alligator?

Choo-choo!

LOVE, LOVE my "hing."

4 months later...

The last time I blogged was 4 months ago.  So much happens in a day, let alone 4 months!  I don't know how people have time to blog with all the other things going on around us.  I'm going to try to keep up with the blog, but don't be surprised if my next post is in four months or so.  :)  Pictures of my sweet, little, almost 18 month-old toddler to come!

Thankfulness

This is actually from a few days ago, but I'm sure with everything going on that day, my ADD was in full effect and this post was never published.  :)

I'm thankful for so many things.  Today, I am so thankful for my bissel little mean green machine.  Or mean green little machine...I'm not really sure.  This may seem a little superficial, but I love that thing.  It has paid for itself many, many times over.  After cleaning up baby vomit first thing, the dog decided he would stick to our theme and let loose, not once, but twice, all over the carpet. Our Max isn't exactly small and neither is his vomit.
  Thank you, thank you little carpet cleaner. 

A new year!

What a busy, busy two months it has been. Who knew that having a birthday, graduation, and Christmas all within a week would be crazy? Apparently not us. We had a great December. Kate turned one, Steve graduated with his master's from Butler, and we enjoyed a great Christmas with both of our familes. 

Kate's First Birthday!

 Graduation

Merry Christmas!
