 On August 1, Thomas turned 4 months old.  This boy gets cuter every day!



Our family celebrated Catherine's first birthday. 


She has certainly come a long way. We are all so thankful to watch her growing and thriving.

We had an eclipse party.  It was an amazing sight to watch.


The kids played in the pool.


 We made eclipse cookies.


Abram enjoyed licking the icing more than decorating the cookies.




Lilly and Lucy, along with their neighbor, opened a lemonade stand.  We were proud to be among their customers.


Thomas met a friend of the family.  They hit it off very well.



It was Lucy's turn to have a sleepover.  We had fun polishing our nails.



Phillip made this tray for me to hold the salt and pepper grinders.



Work is progressing in the remodel of the house.  The floors are down and the kitchen cabinets are installed.


The French doors and deck are finished.
