Summer Lovin'

I swear every time I blink time seems to start moving faster and faster.  I cannot believe we're already halfway through July already!  It makes me way sadder than I'd like to admit, but at the same time we have been taking advantage of every moment we can this summer.  Our days and weeks have been so full, and I'm just loving it.  And I don't just mean that we're running around moving from activity to activity.  We have some of those days, and the rest are spent in lazy, playing outside in the sprinkler fashion.

We have been spending out time at playgrounds, walking, hiking, outside-eating, sprinkler-playing lots of snuggles time fun.

We added a new addition to the family.  Bella Callina {whose name changes daily} is Emmy's newest pet...and she really has been taking good care of it!

Emmy also decided to join the business world a little early and asked to run a lemonade stand one day.  We live on a relatively quiet street, so we thought, why not!?  She sat out there three seperate times during the day and actually had quite a few customers!  I just love that she wanted to participate in this very time-honored kid tradition!

I've also been trying to fill in every spare moment I have with home projects, deep cleaning, and de-cluttering.

I'll have to show case some of what I've been doing on here another time!

We had a great eye appointment for Charlie yesterday, and girlfriend no longer has to wear her eye patch!!  The doctor said she has 20/20 vision in both eyes and since the wandering eye is getting much better, she should grow out of it on her own!  We do have to go back again in October to check the progress again.  I'm sure there is always the possibility throughout her life of it coming back, but for now we're celebrating a patch-free life.

After years of nagging I was finally able to convince Skip to watch all the Harry Potter movies with me.  I have ever watched them all one after another like that and it was like visiting with old friends:)

 I'm also blond now....even more blond than in this picture I posted on Instagram, cause I added in a few more highlights last night.  Clearly I have a problem but blonds have more fun right? ;)

I feel like I'm so far behind in blogging, and some other things I'd like to get done around the house.  But this summer is flying by far to fast and I plan to just embrace and enjoy every moment I can!  Hope you're all having a wonderful summer as well!
