July

We started off July by sending Sara-Cooper to Oxford to spend the week with cousins. She was pretty excited! Eloise was not. ;)

 Oliver had a few tournaments in July, and they were Hot!

 How exactly did he get so big?!

We toured the Windsor ruins, which were pretty cool.

 Hazel's favorite :)

 Eloise baked a delicious rubarb pie!

 The children took tennis lessons in the mornings this summer.

 We spent lots of time at the pool. Hazel absolutely loves the water!
And her big brother!

 Sara-Cooper is so sweet to wake up and help with Hazel, while I make coffee and get ready.

 We had a chance encounter with a few camels at the Military Park.
And we received a neat history lesson, too.

 Hazel had her first appointment to check on her port wine stain.

 Sweet Hazel

 We rearranged Creighton's room a little and added much needed bookshelves.

June

 We spent lots of time watching our favorite catcher practice in the heat.

Thankfully , there were always plenty of friends to keep us company.

 Sara-Cooper was invited to go swimming with a sweet  friend from Clinton. 

 And Creighton spent most of June with Mimi, Uncle Brett, and Sherman.  Which meant I got to spend some quality time with these two sweeties. 

 Pop-Pop and Mimi came for a short visit. The children love company! 

 They always argue about which one gets to hold Hazel on the way to the car after church.

 But they always make up! ha! ;)
