Summer fun, 2 years of Willow!

There are so many memories of various stages in our marriage within these walls...



Kids first Ranger game...









The kids took many naps at my parents house during showing our house.  We had 3-4 showings a day; we were all delirious and honestly  hanging on by a thread most days!





He loves unraveling the toilet paper...


Balloon animals from Willow's dental appointment with Dr. Ta...


Both very happy with this arrangement...


She loves creating.


Peekaboo, panda!



He continues to make her brave, and she continues to bring him great joy and companionship.


Science with Gigi...



Willow had her first & second dance classes this summer.  She loved them!



Ms. Lindsey made her first experience so great!


Be still, my heart!  Praising God for two years with our little girl.  We gave her a qi pao from China in honor of the day.  We will always give our kids small trinkets from their adoption trips to China on their 'family day.'


I've never been more proud!!!  This smile during an EKG is unheard of with her!  Grateful.

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.
