Summer

My goodness! I am officially a waylaid blogger due to the call of various mother-hood duties. So in the interest of catching up on the blog, i'm just going to do a series of photos, all UN-edited as a recap of the last few months. Please don't judge my photography on these posts - it's sadly just autofocus and iphoto editing. I got a new computer like 2 months ago and I STILL haven't had the time to install my photoshop actions! So I basically haven't edited a photo in like 3 months. OK, now that I have confessed, on with the show...

 We had our very first airplane ride to OR to vist great granny and bumper Franek. It was their first time meeting Livy and it was a joy to be with them. 

 She did well on the trip and even slept in the car (sometimes).

We had our annual 'day at the farm' in Prune-tucky with our dear friends, Mike & Judy. The kids swam, made s'mores, and did some carpentry in the barn.

Livy enjoyed the fresh blackberries!

 We enjoyed many Sabbath meals with the family. Olivia & Ruby are cheers-ing for their wine toast.

Olivia went surfing a couple times with daddy. Cousin Selah was proud :-)

 Olivia loves spending time with her older "sister" Makaena Marshall.

 Olivia had her first sleep-over with cousins Selah & Janessa. 

 A very fun new addition to our daily routine is a visit at Nana & Papa's which is now just across the path!

 As of the last 3-4 weeks, Olivia has become a little Tazmanian Devil. She leaves a wake of destruction everywhere she goes. It makes for more work for mama, but it's cute how curious she is.

 One of my favorite purchases this year - monogrammed bloomers, thank you Etsy.

 We had a visit from cousin Ayla Olivia, who hails from New York. She moved here just last month so we will be sure to see more of her!
