(Lots of) pictures from the past few weeks

So like I mentioned I have been on a little blogging break lately. We have been enjoying summer and filling our days full. So that + working + insurance drama = no time for blogging. Oh well. . . for everything there is a season, right?

Here are a few (very random) pictures from my iPhone over the last few weeks. . .

Praise Baby trance. . .

Not sure how this happened. . .

Sweet cousin, Sophie, loving on Camille. . . Some say they look just alike! 

And sweet cousin, Eli, loving on Camille. . .

He thought rubbing her head was super fun. . .

And giving her hugs. . .

Head rubbing again. . .

My cousins, Clancey and Brogan, came to visit from CT a few weeks ago. We loved spending time with them! And the girls loved swimming with them (& the constant attention)!

My niece Avery passed on her gigantic teddy bear to Clara. It is safe to say that Clara LOVES and I mean LOVES it. Everyday after nap I say "Go hug your bear," and she crawls right up into his lap and smiles. She also enjoys patting his tummy and nose. When I can't find her in the house I go look in her room by the bear. Always find her there. Cutest ever. Her post nap hair is also the cutest ever.

First time I was successful with pig tails. . .

Summer = lots of swing & trampoline time. . .

Clara's new favorite book. She loves to "read" as we are riding in the car. You too can probably find these books at your local Dollar Store. :)

First time Camille sat in the front of the shopping cart!! One of my fav milestones. She was totally loving it. And not to mention totally loving smiling and flirting with each and every shopper that passed us by. . . Let's all start praying now that this adorable little quality tones itself down before High School. . . Mmmmkay?

Camille hoarding all the food. . .

Playing in the mirror. . .

Clara woke up at 5am a few days ago and decided it was a good day not to go back to sleep. So I decided it was a good day to practice resting on her nap mat. She starts back at MDO today and they want to try having her nap on a nap mat like all the other kids in her class. Yeah. . . I'll let you know how that goes. . . Ha! Don't let these pics fool you. This lasted approximately 2.5 seconds.

Cheesing it up for the camera per usual. . .

Clara playing before Bible class this past Sunday. . .

Clara and her buddy Bauer. . .

More playtime. . .

That's a wrap! Summer bucket list update & an exciting announcement coming soon!

(Um no. I am not pregnant. Crazy people.)
