Fun in the Summertime

In case the hot and humid weather wasn't hint enough for you, it's officially summertime!  We have spent our time eating cool treats,

 and chillin' by the pool in the backyard. 

We had family come in to visit on their summer break to meet the newest member of the family

and to reconnect with cousins. 

Our backyard looks a little different after a rain storm blew through this Tuesday so we are in the market for new trees to shade our backyard. 

Our little Allegra is still as precious as can be and I am adoring the newborn stage of cuddling and round-the-clock nap time.  She was 10 lbs 5 oz at her two month appointment and she has grown 2 inches since birth.  She is now cooing and gurgling, trying to communicate with us.  At 10 weeks, she has grown out of her newborn clothes and can fit 3 month clothes perfectly.  Siena has given her a bottle and Carson enjoys holding his baby sister.  We are so blessed by these gifts from God and even though it is hard work, it is the best work that we have been hired to do.
