I was so excited for the Fourth of July because I ordered Grant the most adorable crab bubble! We celebrated by participating in the neighborhood Popsicle parade, had lunch at the pool and had a wonderful family dinner on my parent’s patio. That weekend we headed to the lake for fireworks!
North Carolina Film
I finally got some old film developed from our time in Emerald Isle, North Carolina! Dale and I had just started sharing the news that I was pregnant and took a few photos with an ultrasound photo and this “It’s a Boy” card from Hallmark Signature. It’s so crazy to think back on this time now that our Grant is about to be four months old!
June Around The Web
June kicked off with Dale and I celebrating our 8 year wedding anniversary! My parents offered to babysit so that we could head to The Campground for drinks followed by a delicious dinner at Novel. That Sunday Grant was baptized and we had a great lunch after to celebrate! The rest of the month included more celebrations for our friend’s daughter Ruthie, Alex turned 30, we spent time with the Chicago Smiths, and saw Grace preform at her aerial show and at The Folly! Grace also turned 19 on the 26th and we had cupcakes at our house the night before her Folly performance. Grant is now three months old (how does time go so fast!) and has grown so much! He’s officially in mostly 3-6 month clothes and is giggling and smiling which is the BEST.
I was blown away by how beautiful Mackenzie’s instant hedges turned out! I’ve always admired her beautiful back yard but the hedges really brought it to a whole new level!
Like the rest of the internet, I am excited for the Barbie movie
An interesting history of the tote, we sure use Grant’s a lot!
I’m taking lots of early morning walks with my little guy and need a new hat

I love all blooms and these chairs are no exception. So beautiful!

happy summer!
Father's Day 2023
This afternoon we celebrated Father’s Day (Dale’s First!) a day early at my parents house. I got Dale a board book entitled “Mom, Dad & Grant” that I made through Artifact Uprising (alongside a hammock we still need to pick out/order) and gave all the dads the “Happy Father’s Day” pop-up card that features my lettering! Hope you have a wonderful weekend with the fathers in your life.
Grace & Sophie’s Graduations
