Sophie Turns 1

My little Sophie had her first birthday in June.

We actually had an early birthday party in Texas with our family there.







Then our cousins from St. Louis visited and we had a 2nd birthday party going to a water park at the Wisconsin Dells and having a blast swimming, playing and hanging out with them.




I love my Sophia Analise. (or more affectionately known as Sophie, Soph-Soph, Sofa, and Sofamatic)
Her smile brightens my dad and her joy is absolutely contagious!

Summer Fun part 1

Considering I am digging out our long sleeve shirts today and transitioning to the Fall, I thought it would be time for some summer updates.

We've been able to travel and see family and friends during the beginning of our summer, which is always great.
Chris' cousin got married in Texas, so we had the chance to go there for the wedding.

(Chris lavishing his love on his younger brother AJ)




It was the first time for Sophie to meet most of her cousins in St. Louis and my first time to meet my cousin's beautiful twins!







We also went to Chicago to visit my dad's sister, Georgia.



Very thankful for all the loving family in our lives.
