Birthday Celebrations for Kit Rae

 Yesterday we got to celebrate Kit’s birthday with the tradition of birthday doughnuts, gifts for upcoming trips, birthday affirmations, and a special dinner with our friend Chris who was in town from South Africa.


It was a sweet time celebrating our favorite guy!

Summer…

 Looking through my photos made me feel like summer… Man, I’m so grateful for these simple moments!

a little art project

 I found a doodle/art project that utilized my family’s hand prints and I had to try it.

They were so fun to do!

Even when the kids are off…

 …there is still a work schedule to keep. Happy Summer to all the working parents making it happen!

finally finishing a project…

 A few years ago when we were in London, I found three landscape paintings that I knew would be perfect in our home. I had framed 2 of them but I couldn’t find a reasonable frame for our largest one. I finally decided to use an old frame from a magnet message board and bought glass and a matte to make my own. 

It was a total of $11 and it just makes me so happy!

Summer

 We had our first trip to our community pool. 

Then Ryder drove us to get ice cream and it was the first time Eden rode in the front seat with him. 

At the end of the day, the kids both said, “Today really felt like summer…”
