Between Then and Now: Everyday Life

More of the "inbetweens" of summer:

My grandparents took the entire family out to dinner to celebrate their anniversary. PF Chang's...yum! Here's Sophie with a lettuce wrap:
Kelsy was in from California and Sophie warmed up immediately!

The family clockwise around the table: Aunt Linda (my mom's sister), me, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Neil (Mom's brother), Cousin Brian (Linda's son...one of 3). Not shown: A lot of family members also sitting at the table. It was a big group!
At the park with Izzy in early August.

This next one is Sophie's first drawing that is "legible." (She drew this on Aug. 8th...for my own record keeping.) She said, "I'm going to draw Mommy & Sophie." She drew the heads and then I said, "I think we need eyes." Then she drew the eyes, noses, smiles, legs, and feet with a little bit of prompting. I was pretty impressed. I'm the one with blue eyes. She demanded that her eyes should be pink. She's been a little obsessed lately with pink.

At Tower Grove Park with Weston:

The kids struck this pose on their own. It was so cute! I was wishing our friend Erin was there to capture these pics, b/c I just couldn't get that "perfect" shot with my point-and-shoot. This is the cutest one I got:
I'm sorry, they are just too cute together. Sophie has started calling Westie her "boyfriend." She told me that they like to hold hands a lot.

Earlier in the summer we went to Purina Farms with Weston, Lily, and Abigail. It was a beautiful day to be at the farm!


This summer has been all about hair bows & dresses. She likes these hair-bands the best and she demands to put them in herself. They are meant for infants, but whatever. Be sure to check out the bracelet/pajama combo, too.

We also took a trip to the Magic House back in June. Got this shot downloaded before we lost our camera in Florida. The other ones may have made it to Facebook...I'm not sure.
More to come...
