July Photos

I just realized most of our last month was child related in some way, whether it be preparing for ours or hanging out with others.

Billy painting the nursery with our friend Michael while....
Katy helped me spray paint some mix matched woods for Matthew's room. Bye bye Dora :-) The room is still in progress. We have some things to hang and a dresser to assemble. I am working on the bedding and my Uppercase Living for the room should come in any day :-)

Visiting Jarrod and Dawn and their new son Austin:
This one just makes me smile :-))

We had the opportunity to visit our old small group for a cook out. I miss seeing all these sweet families every week. We met together for over 4 years!!

Speaking of small group we had our current one over for dinner just to keep in touch over the summer. It's nice in a way to get a short break, but I miss them :-)

Did I mention how much water has helped my back? My friend Stacy hosted several of us a few times at the pool. So many great things about this...the cool water relieving my aching back, the super cute kids running around and the company of their supportive and informative mom's !!

I know I already blogged about Rachel spending some time with us, but this pic was too cute and I didn't include it before. She's finger painting at the table.
My niece Joan with our friend Rachel:

I spent some time with this cute little guy Michael

and his big sister Avery. VERY well mannered and soo kind to each other


Once I figure out how to download from this new video camera I will post video :-)

We try to end every day with a walk to get some exercise. Our street at dusk is so nice, our neighbors are friendly and warm
