A Quick Night Away with Mom and Dad

Our big dream of a 10 year anniversary trip wasn't going to happen with a two month old in the picture.  So we settled for a quick night away with a third wheel.  It was so nice to not be on a schedule and have a little time to relax and have an uninterrupted conversation.  We also enjoyed loving on our littlest girl.


All ready for her first night in a hotel.








I think she liked being an only child for the night.

Two little tomatoes

Emmerson planted a tomato plant at Daisies this year.  You can't imagine our surprise or her delight when we found these one morning! 


She couldn't wait to serve them to Daddy for dinner! 


Work with Daddy

Once a year Daddy gets to take the girls to work. The girls love it!


Caroline got to take a quick picture before she was left behind.


Excited little girls!


A few pictures from the day.


Everyone came home happy!  Sounds like it was a success!

4th of July in Fort Wayne

We made our annual 4th of July trip home to Fort Wayne.  We all look forward to this each year.  

The girls had just finished another week of tennis so they wanted to go play as soon as we pulled into Nana and Pop Pops driveway. 




Then we needed to cool off in the pool.





The girls are very into planning a wedding and making everyone join in.  This is the bride and groom. 


They are also party planners.  This is the "July Party".


They also managed to talk about into the motorized animals at the mall.






And a stop at the candy shop. 


We had a chilly day at the pool.


One of the best parts of the weekend is spending time with the Holms.  They always come over for a cookout on the 3rd of July.








We always have a bonfire and make s'mores. 




The girls love when Chick picks them up because he is so tall!


Fireworks were a hit this year!




This sweet baby was just along for the ride




and was exhausted by the end of the night. 


Everyone is so happy when Caroline wakes up for the day. 



4th of July is always spent at Chuck and Nikki's 


2 Months old


7 years old


5 years old


2 1/2 years old


Our sweet firecrackers all ready to go!


This actual fish is not Emerson's favorite part of fishing!


Or Claire's!


They do love the "little boat".




She just hung out wherever we put her. 


We got some time out on the water.




The girls still love all the fountains.


We had such a great weekend!
