July highlights

It's been a busy and fun-filled month. The summer we'd been waiting for hit us in the face with a whopping 104 degrees when we landed in Texas for our adoption agency reunion. We had a great time seeing old friends and meeting new ones. What a treasure to be able to have all of these kiddos home and reunited for a weekend.

Little Miss loved the plane. She was full of wide-eyed wonder on the first flight and was an old pro by the time we were on our connecting flight.

My little cowgirl!

We also recently had a great day full of summer activities with our dear friends - pool time, backyard fun, and the town summer festival all in one day!

The first tattoo for Little Miss. She was unsure at first, but ultimately loved and kissed that little turtle on her hand!

And we finally got a little beach time! It was worth the wait - Little Miss had a great time.
