More time with Papa

It's been really nice to have Mimi and Papa live so close throughout the summer months. Blake gets to spend time with them each week.

Mimi and Papa's backyard

Blake really enjoys spending time at Mimi and Papa's house, especially in their backyard. There's so much to see and explore...lots of rocks, trees, and creatures.

Blake and Papa

Blake loves his Papa and loves going over to his house and hanging out with him. They have such a special relationship.

Is that our baby boy?

Sometimes a picture comes along that makes your 17-month-old look like he's about three. This is one of those.

Trouble with a capital "T"

Silence throughout the house is always something that makes a parent a little nervous. Upon walking into the dining room on Thursday, Joy was quite surprised to notice that little Blake had climbed up on top of the table all by himself and was working away on a Crayola masterpiece.

Uncle Micah

Uncle Micah came for a vist and we all went to Shane and Bek's house. I think they love their crazy uncle.

4th of July

Aunt Sara and Uncle Tim came over for dinner and we set off fireworks. Our neighborhood gets into and Rich and Tim definetly competed with the rest of the neighbors. The kids loved the fireworks!
