Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to the best parenting partner I could have ever asked for!  


I am one lucky girl: I have a wonderful father, and so do my children. 


Happy Father's Day to Josh/Daddy, Gramps, Grandad, Pop Pop, Papaw, and Pap!  We love you!

A little of this, and a little of that

Piper has been getting extra attention lately from our neighbor, Sarah.  She is out of school for the summer and asked if she could come play/babysit whenever she wanted.  And of course I said yes!




 Piper has decided that she really likes capes, and this is the closest thing we have to one right now.  She "flies" around and insists on wearing the "helmet," too!

I may be biased, but I think Graham is one of the prettiest babies I have ever seen.  Josh and say all the time that it's a good thing he's cute because we would have thrown him out the window a long time ago.

Early morning snuggles (and nibbles)

While I took Graham to the doctor early this week, Piper stayed with her friend Mikey.  His mom captured this picture of them playing together.  They are good friends, and so are their mommas!

Mikey's mom and I went to a concert together last week.

 Piper and I have resumed our summer ritual of shopping at the Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings (with Graham in tow now).  Last weekend we picked up a bunch of green beans from our favorite produce stand (we know the farmer), and Piper could not get enough of them.  This night she ate four helpings!

Josh and I treated ourselves to a date night last week.  There is a major country music concert series held in Nashville every summer--four full days and nights of concerts.  This is my fourth consecutive year of attending, and I finally convinced Josh to go along with me one night.  We saw some of our favorite artists and had a great time together!

Little Gymnast

Piper has been working on this for WEEKS.  It's so much fun to see her hard work paying off!

Flag Day Party

One of Piper's good friends, Meg, is obsessed with the American Flag.  Since today was Flag Day, her momma had a few of her friends over for flag crafts and snacks.  I can honestly say it was the best Flag Day party I have ever attended :-).

 Craft Time

 Snacks

Patriotic bubbles! 

The partiers (minus Graham) 

Waving her flag 

Graham really seemed to enjoy himself and the extra attention lavished on him by the kids and their mommies. 

Taking a break to watch Dora (they lined themselves up like this--isn't it cute?)

Still waving and decked out, back at home and after nap

Snowman?

Piper's imagination is really taking off.  Most of the time her pretend play makes sense.  But sometimes,  like this time, it's way out there.
