Back Home


It is good to be back home and enjoying some cooler weather this past week!

I turned 32 and had some great news: my platelets are still up and stable!


As Ray was leaving the table, Kate got like this and yelled, "Up! Down!" at her brother as if to say "anything you can do I can do better" She was so proud of herself. 


And she should be because she is OFFICIALLY POTTY TRAINED!!!


Ray is an EXPERT at Legos! I tried keeping up with him and he is just too awesome!


We also went to the Zoo with some good friends:


Katie saying "EW" at the frogs: 


Brushing goats:


Kate brought me over to this sweetheart and told me it was hers! "Mine" she tried to get it leave with her!


Ray was taller than me!

Kate climbed ALL the way up on her own!

Butterfly house was a blast my girl loves butterflies almost as much as I do!

Just a quick shout out to my baby sister, Camille. She got married on July 3rd, Congratulations!

Love you Camille!!! So very happy for you!!!
