july is here!

hallie looks a little upset about saying good-bye to june, but don't worry... she was just a little hot and tired. while i much prefer happy baby pictures, i must say that there is something strangely cute about mad baby pictures. please tell me i'm not alone!

before i start getting hate mail from all the grandmas out there for posting a picture of my baby screaming, here is a happier hallie less than a minute later...


and here's what helps hallie be such a happy baby.... the thumb! yay for hallie finding her thumb!!!


i love these silly kiddos! doesn't it look like hallie is intentionally being goofy?


the beginning of july is a busy time for us! ethan turns 7 years old tomorrow, quickly followed by wednesday's celebration of america's independence. we are looking forward to lots of family time this week! have a great week!
