Summer Fun with Cousins

Family Vacation

As keeping with tradition we took our family vacation up at the cabin. We get to relax, swim, read, nap, boat rides, enjoy dinners out and in, and most of all just enjoy the peacefulness of where we are. It is amazing to get to spend time together all day and night, I feel blessed to be able to spend my entire summer with Bel, but having that one week as a family is wonderful. DM has been working very hard as always and it was nice to have him around to enjoy the little daily activities that Bel and I delight in every day. Enjoy the pictures... as there are a lot of them!

2 Years Old... Already!

Where does the time go? I'm sure this is a question that most parents find themselves asking often whether their child is 1 or 20. DM and I are constantly asking when she got so big, when did she start talking like a "big" kid. Its amazing the things she learns on a daily basis from turning on lights to helping me with putting away clothes. She has one "chore" that she is in charge of which is feeding the dog and she has begun to do this with out being prompted most mornings. She is an amazing little person who is strong willed, smart and beautiful, and for anyone who may not believe in God, children are certainly a prime example of who he is and the gifts he has given.
