Water balloons

Daddy and Ella re both in Heaven with the introduction of water balloons this summer.

Splish Splash

Evie's loving her bath. Last night Evie discovered the joy of splashing in the bath.

Evelyn 6 Month Photos

Here are our professional pictures done by my sweet friend Leigh over at Leigh Young Photography.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Her hair looks a little red to me here...We will see. 

Wearing her sash from my maternity shoot and her newborn shoot. The sash is intended to be incorporated into her wedding day.  [Thanks to our sweet friends for the outfit loan, I love it!]

Ella ran right over and laid down next to Evie and started hamming it up. Love these pictures of them.

Evelyn's Dedication

On May 17, 2015 we had the pleasure of dedicating Evie to the Lord at our church, North Way Christian Community. My parents were able to join us from New Hampshire and stayed for a few extra days of fun.

Ella is wearing a dress that my mother made for me as a girl.

Summer

The summer fun has begun, and Ella couldn't be happier. She loves everything outside. It will be fun to see if her adventurous spirit carries through her life.

Some of our fun thus far:

Evie's first pool time:

Ella loving pool life:

Summer treats: First ever s'more and first homemade popsicle, apple juice, as requested by Josh. She had a little bit of a hard time holding the small handle on the popsicle but we only had one drop, and luckily no bugs or grass stuck to it. :)

Kangaroos

Today at Living Treasures, Ella was all kangaroo. Nothing else mattered. 

She was really brave and was feeding and petting them. 

Also, this Wallaby had a baby poking out of its pouch, which I should add is more like a slit than an "open from the top" pouch.
