July Wrap-up

John spent the 4th of July out of the cottage with his parents and family, while I spent the 4-day weekend at work :(
 
 

Lazy days, laying around:

Spent the morning at gymnastics playing then seeing Finding Dory:
 

Just lounging around:

My crazy monkeys before we headed out to a birthday party:
 

1st birthday party for a special NICU grad Parker:
  
 

Then a special 2nd birthday party for NICU grad Jade:
 

Being this cute is exhausting :) 

Most days this month it has been too hot to do anything but watch movies and play inside.  
Some days we just have jammie days :)
  

Goodnight stories before bed:

Potty training times 2?, maybe, I've lost count with this stubborn little dude:

July trip to PA

We set off on our summer week-long trip to spend time with everyone back home in PA.

                                                                         Snuggled up in his car seat watching a movie

Meeting my newest nephew, Wyatt for the first time.  He was 5 days old :)  He is just perfect!
 

Hannah had a sleepover with his cousins Lola & Lilly:

Trip to the Ryers's Horse Farm where we fed the horses apples and carrots:
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 


Then we went bowling to cool off and eat some lunch:
  
 
 
 

John and I snuck away to have dinner with one of my best HS friends, Wendy and her husband Dan:


While we were away, the kids had a sleepover with MomMom and Poppy and played with their cousins:

As always, we had a busy week, but it is worth it to see everyone and spend time with family.  We hope to see everyone again very soon :)  Love you all!
