July

Yes, we still have a tarp on our house. Sigh.

Paige was a lifesaver this summer. She entertained the big girls once a week.

Wendy is 40! Wheee!

Talie and Maddie dancing up a STORM!

We joined the new athletic club in town -- the girls LOVE the kids academy. Talie cries when she has to leave. Better than crying when I drop her off!

Fancy pool with waterslides!

Talie and Maddie were in a dance class while Wendy and I were at the pool!

It's baaaaa-aaaack! We have another vesibular motion lover in the house!

Superhero graphic novels and Angelina Ballerina books. We hit the library a LOT.

Getting their baby ready for bed.

T cuddling with Bittie Baby

We're gonna need a bigger boat ...

Rookirk playdate!

It has been SO. HOT. this summer. Noontime beat-the-heat strategy is screen time. 

The littlest Hillary supporter.

E had a stye in her eye. 

Teddy Magoo!

Beauty Parlor

Jupiter Visitors

Great Babsie came back and this time, she brought Great Donny! They were only here for a short time but I still signed Babsie up to babysit so I could go to the dentist! My first hour alone in three months ... ha!

Babsie is a good sport. Fancy ponytails abound!

Baby Dylan

Quinn took her first trip to Rockaway to meet the family for Baby Dylan's first birthday. Fun was had. :o)

We barely got out of the car before she was whisked off to meet her cousins and aunts and uncles!

Not a big fan of the attention, the candle, or the frosting!

Elliott's legs are so long!!

Gramps who you LOOOOOOVE!

Vacation

We took a last minute vacation to Tiverton, RI for the week. It took me and Elliott a good 24 hours to unclench and relax, but once we found our groove, all was well.

Our little cabin by the sea.

Vacation with a view.

An even better view?

Someone was eager to get in the water!

Dripping in glowsticks. They made it to 9pm -- they saw a few local fireworks but couldn't stay awake for any big fireworks!

They hit an indoor playspace on a rainy day and were the only patrons!

These girls LOVE the beach!

These girls got along famously. Fingers crossed they'll still be friends when we get home?

Baby farts are very funny.
