Summer was good.

Summer was so good to us. We made so many wonderful memories. There were lots of firsts for us all. Helen enjoyed her first Independence Day and didn't even cry at the POP BOOMS aka fireworks.

We took a trip to Deep Creek Lake and had our first family vacation as a family of four! How fun!

Weston and Helen had their first boat ride. Helen loved the fresh air blowing in her face and Weston wanted to be captain and drive the boat like Daddy. 

We had our first family movie night the end of August. Weston never watched a movie before. So we went to the library one day and picked out two Disney movies- Toy Story and The Lion King. After dinner and baths, he picked out the movie Toy Story and was SOOOOO excited to start watching it. It was so stinkin adorable.

Helen has been eating solids (baby food and cut up small pieces of food). She also can sit up on her own which makes for more fun restaurant visits. She's got the army crawl down and getting to all of her big brother's toys! The pic below is perfect for her since prunes is pretty much a fruit she eats daily. Oh these tummy issues are no fun!

But mostly this summer was all about playing. I love watching the kiddos play. Zipping around on Gators and tractors, burying their toys in the sand, exploring in the grass, and playing together...

Our summer was so good! 

Cannot wait for our fall adventures and many more firsts to come!
