so here we are in the heat of summer and lovin' every minute! We recently took a fun long trip to Michigan for Lerran and her 2 cousins, michael and noah, 1st birthdays! We had a blast and were able to get some time in at the lake! here are some fun pics from that trip! Please take note that lerran is still bald and has very few teeth! She still seems so young to us, maybe it is because of the lack of hair or that she is the second child, but either way we are happy to keep it that way! She is such a sweet child and ablessing from the Lord! Happy 1st Birthday Lerran!

lerran alternated between cake, frosting, and lollipop...she loved it. Lets just say it was a late night!

Hey Emily, I recently decided to take the plunge into the blog world, but I have been reading others for a while. I am glad to add yours on to my favorites. :) Great way to stay in touch.

How fun to have the cousins birthday together! What a great idea :)

We feel the same way about Talia being still such a baby. Of course she also is very small for her age and is not walking yet--at 16 months. At her first birthday she only had 2 teeth, so we can relate :)

Anyway, it's great to see what you are up to! The girls are beautiful.

Em! I am so excited that you finally took the plunge! I remember talking about this a long time ago, but the day is finally here. :)

Your girls are getting more and more beautiful every day! I can't believe how much they're growing up.

Hopefully we'll get to hang out more regularly, but this will be a great way for us to know what's going on.

We miss you!

So good to see how you all are doing. Your girls are absolutely gorgeous and really growing.

Thanks about the photog stuff. I can't compare with your hubby BUT I have always enjoyed the creative outlet it gives me. =)

Will enjoy "seeing" you all.
