Catching up on the Summer: July

We celebrated the Fourth of July and Andrew's birthday party #1 at Grandma and Grandpa Drake's house. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures, but we all had a great time.

The kids have each been doing a couple of activities through the park district this summer. In the first half of the summer Andrew did t-ball, Laura did ballet, and both kids did swimming lessons.

We have been on vacation in Ohio for the last week. We came down for my cousin Mandi's wedding. It has been great getting a chance to see my Gerber relatives.
The kids have also gotten to spend some time with their second cousins that we don't get to see very often. There was a little baby boom for my generation over the last few years, so all of my kids have second cousins close in age to them. This time they got to visit with Isaiah, Jonah, and Harriet. Since Isaiah and Jonah were busy helping with wedding preparations, they spent a lot of time with Harriet. Andrew is already begging to take a vacation to Virginia so we can have a playdate with Harriet.

On July 18th, Andrew turned 6! He is growing up too quickly for me. Here are a couple of pictures of the 6 year old on his birthday.
