July

Leah celebrated her 7th birthday:



Angie came to visit to see baby Mallory, cheer me on at the Firecracker 6, and rock out with me to Florence + the Machine:


Leah finally lost her first tooth (at Target!):

We had our annual pool party to celebrate Leah's birthday, complete with lots of presents & tissue paper flinging after the party:

Leah & Kaden spent two weeks in Pennsylvania with Mike, Hannah, Cody, and the rest of the Russell's:

And work included a surprise baby shower for Catherine:

Leah officially bridged from Daisies to Brownies this Saturday. She's super excited to start earning patches for her new Brownie vest, but posed for some last pics in the Daisy blue.

And with this wonderful summer weather comes the chance to enjoy some outdoor dining!

Kaden is C.R.A.Z.Y.

And he loves blue hoodies.
