June Highlights (and Ali’s Second Birthday)

With summer in full swing, we seem to alternate between indoor air conditioned activities and the pool.

On the indoor front, we’ve been utilizing the Home Depot and Lowe’s events. Ali loves to bang the hammer.

The library is another favorite spot. Ali is especially into the puppets now.

On the outdoor front, the girls love to play at the various pools. Here are the girls looking cool on their way to the pool.

Even when it is over 100 degrees out, Ali loves to snuggle in her towel post swim.

Back inside, Ali is on a serious princess / dress up mode. She even acts out Cinderella by cleaning the floor.

This month we had to say goodbye to our friends McKenzie and Grayson as they moved to Atlanta. Here are the kids at one last afternoon together.

June is also Ali’s birthday month. Unfortunately Ali woke up on her birthday (the 28th) with the stomach flu. Fortunately she was mostly better the next day, and the girl’s Frozen birthday party isn’t for a few weekends.

Ali used the weekend to wear her princess nightgown.

And by the end of the weekend, she was bouncing on the trampoline at the gym in her new Elsa dress.

Happy second birthday Ali!
