July

I'm getting worse at this...since Becky posted about her adorable one-week old baby, I guess I have no longer have an "I'm busy" excuse. So here's a brief recap of what we did in July.

Matt and Denise were here for the Fourth of July and we had such a great time visiting with them.Elaine started dressing herself. (This is her Minnie Mouse Halloween costume from last year.)
Dogs got fleas (but they're all gone now, thank goodness).

Natalie can say "Mama" - and she says it a lot.Phil built the mack-daddy sandbox - with a little help from Elaine. She really likes tools. And we had to shovel in 3 tons of sand. We love the sandbox and we put the pool next to it so Elaine can run back and forth.

Elaine is potty-trained!! (Very exciting...but no pictures.)

Woah! That sandbox is . . . impressive. How is it that I heard all about the covering and the bench and the dimensions, and yet I was still surprised to see how grandiose it truly is? And how adorable is Natalie in her little sailor dress? I'll tell you: TOO adorable.
