SUMMER

I have truly enjoyed and been blessed with having the summer off! I can not thank Evan enough for giving me this opportunity with or daughter. Aubrey has grown so much in the past 2 months. I can't help but "give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done". Being able to stay home and make countless memories has been an indescribable joy.  We have shared moments with friends, taken Thursdays to enjoy lunch with Pop Pop and Aubrey's cousins, had adventurous dinners with NaNa and Grandpa, enjoyed Story Time on Tuesday mornings, journeyed to the zoo, explored the Shedd Aquarium, played at the pool, experienced life with MiMi :D, laughed together, cried together, and learned a few new "tricks". We still have more summer time moments ahead of us and I can not wait to engrave each of them on my heart! 

A friend we have spent a lot of time with, is Micah. He has truly come out of his shell with Aubrey and it is great to see the two of them enjoying childhood together. We went and purchased an AMAZING LIPSTICK PINK stroller today with Micah and his mom, Marybeth!!! Aubrey has had her eye on this particular stroller for a while and her dreams came true today...

Doesn't she look AMAZING!

When we went out, Micah really enjoyed my phone. He played with it for a while and soon figured out how to open it and tried dialing dad at work...

As we have journeyed through the summer together Micah and Aubrey have begun talking more and more with one another. They were carrying on quite the conversation today; before the camera went on (go figure). If only we knew what they were saying.
