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!

June Fun

Summer is here and we are loving every minute of it!  


We spend most of our days outside.  Our neighbor Lucy likes to join us. 


Claire loves when her friend Allison comes over. 




I am not sure what I will do when Emmerson goes back to school.


If you see one...you see three! 


This is how she ends her days.


"Look I am tall like daddy!"


This girl! 


Neighborhood block party. 


This is how Caroline does the pool. 


and the big girls...






Our first trip to the pool was a success.  It took us forever to get out the door and only the adults had shoes when we got there but we made it and everyone lived to talked about it.  


This guy loves to hold his babies! 


Colin loves Caroline!  He smiles so big every time he sees her.  


I snapped this picture while walking into the pool.  It was the first time I took them alone.  It went way better than I expected. 


They were happy which is what matters! 


Thankfully she sleeps through most of the things we do.





The first thing Claire does every single morning is play with Caroline.  It is so sweet to listen to her talk, sing, and giggle with her. 


She will sleep anywhere!


We spent some time playing in Broadripple with Anna and Owen. 


and went to Cousin Lauren's pool. 





We got to meet our new cousin.  Baby Charlotte! 


They are 7 weeks apart. 


We love our Zionsville friends.   We also love that the big kids love our kids!  


She is so happy! 


This is the face I get while making dinner most nights


and these!  It's a packed kitchen!


One night we went in to check on the big girls before bed and found this!  It was a sock tired around Claire's eyes.  It was tight and hard to get off.  She didn't wake up so the next day I asked her about it.  She said that I told her to go right to sleep so this is how she kept her eyes closed.  



I walked into an intense yoga class the other day! 

Went spent another day at Cousin Lauren's pool with Marin, Quinn, and Colin.




These two are so cute together! 


No shortage of girls with this group!
