six {!}

I'm not sure how it happened, but six years somehow have passed by since our beautiful Miriam entered the world and joined our family.  What a blessing she is to all of us!  We are so proud of her.  Today (and this weekend!) are full of celebrations for our Miriam Jean.

the fair

It has been a family tradition to head down to my hometown's county fair every year.  Not only do I love going, but now the girls are getting excited each year fair time comes around.  This year, the weather was perfect and we got to make many trips out there with family and friends!  It's fun to run into old classmates and people from town I haven't seen in awhile.  It was a great week and we are officially exhausted!

family pictures

Last weekend, we went to visit my college roommate and her cute little family.  We grilled, chatted, played, chatted some more and then she took pictures for us!  She has always had a good eye for photography and does it just for fun.  We always love how her pictures turn out.  Here's a few of my favorites:

And no, we did not have a son...that is Tricia's adorable little boy.  He also had a "Boys Rule" shirt on in honor of our three lovely ladies.
