Celebrating, deciding to move, & baby dedications...

My parents house for Dad's 60th birthday...






Favorite toy he borrows from Uncle Austin...


Sometimes you just have to put your big baby in a onesie...


First french braid!


Park days are awesome!




She's never happier than when playing a game!


This was the moment we decided we were really going to try to sell our house...


And this is what happened the next day when I opened the garage!  Moving chaos already!


Our library put on a summer 'library show' that we occasionally made it to!  The kids loved it!



Summer fun!


And the house is on the market.  Oh my word, that was a difficult month!!!  The car became our junk pit!





We found our new home on our first time looking with our realtor.  Later, after a dinner date, we decided that was it, so we did a drive by like creepers!


Baby dedications at Church at the Cross...






How often do we get to see our families at the same time?!  Thank you for being at our kids' dedications at church.  It was so special!  We had a blast having some chicken tacos together afterwards.

Mother's Day, Vernon, Summer starting...

Looking back, we were still in the middle of a whirlwind of transitioning to two on Mother's Day this year.  Can't articulate how blessed I feel.  God is so good!





Willow picked out some cute puppy salt and pepper shakers for me! 


This is the first time we took him to the church nursery!  Kyle stayed with him this time, and we continued going with him for more than a month.  Trying to be the ones to meet all of his needs is our joy.



Flowers from the kids (courtesy of our sweet church)...




She's fantastic...




Daddy's Costco purchases...


This is one of his favorite books.  


Jonas got to play in the playroom while Willow went back to Kindermusik!


He is a laugher...


Girls' night out at one of her favorite places...


I guess Little Blue Truck was making him sleepy!


I think this photo summarizes their relationship in these first two months together.  So funny!



I got brave and then we both got messy!






Beautiful Marie at baby Oli's shower...


In Vernon for a sip & see for Jonas Tian!









What a party we had!!


Back at church with sweet Hazel...


Meredith's beautiful shower.  Willow and I enjoyed several showers in these first few months home with Jonas as girl bonding times!





While Willow was at preschool, I was home trying not to worry as we waited for biopsy results.  This guy was the best medicine!  So grateful all was just fine!


We had a visit from Geneva!




The library is one of our favorite places.







The pet store is very similar to the zoo in our book.


I was scared to go anywhere with two adjusting kiddos without my mommy at first!  Art at the library...


Addie and Jameson came in town to meet Geneva and Jonas!  



I decided I had to start baking with Willow again!  She loves to help cook anything and everything!


A weekend treat...




We have had an AMAZING summer.  Let the fun begin...





Haha, Willow...
