End of July

The end of July has been a blur - if not the whole of July.  It was a great summer month with temps so hot it felt like August the whole time!  We've enjoyed a month of fun but also chaos.  I got a job 5 hrs/week at Jacob's Well as an event coordinator and its amazing how difficult it is to fit 5 hrs into an already packed week.

While Logan had five mornings at Vacation Bible School, Benny, Eden and I had our mornings to ourselves.  It was a flash forward to fall when Logan has mornings at the Montessori.

Bennett as gotten really close to Eden and I suspect he will really grow close to her this fall when its just the two of them home with me in the mornings.  He loves her a lot...sometimes a little too much - I have to remind him not to smother her!

And, of course Benny has a personality all his own...wearing his shades and life jacket inside.  Just one of many of his interesting combos.

Eden is making leaps and bounds in development.  I forget what a fast changing age this is.  She now grabs onto whatever she wants and is eager to move and play with toys.

She is the best baby ever.  I am in awe of her.  She loves to chat and sings herself to sleep.  Its the cutest thing ever!

Love those baby blues.

And we're ending up the month with swimming lessons for the boys.  They are parent-child lessons which means John and I are both in the water with the boys.  Its crazy.  That was probably not a good idea in this crazy season, but soon they will be over and the boys can move on to independent lessons.  They love the lessons so its been good.  Eden sometimes come along and hangs out in her seat or sometimes stays with a friend.

We had our outdoor church service on the last Sunday of July and it was rainy!  Go figure!  We've been needing rain for two months and we got a ton while we all stood out in the rain for an hour and a half on Sunday.  Oh well!
