and more....

Luci was never short on attention from her cousins.  They all love her so much and really helped me chase her around.  She called all of them by name and is still saying their names around home.

Emma was always near as Lu would shout her name all day long.  Sweet girls....
Icee popsicles were a huge hit while we played on the beach.  After Lu would finish hers she would make her rounds from cousin to cousin to scavenge some more.
"E" always had good snacks.  Love their matching suits :)
"Annie!"  Annie was a rockstar with Luci and gave her constant attention.
"Gey, Gey" warmed up to Lu as the weeks went on.  Little man has a big imagination and I just love that smile.
Night time conversations and back rubs....leg rubs for mom
The brothers call us cats :)
Little girls not wanting to miss a thing....trying so hard to stay up with the big girls :)
Raspberry picking in the woods....so much fun!
Luci got the hang of it very quickly and loved the reward.
Thijs worked the do-rag, just like Uncle Glen.
Liam and Lulu have a special relationship....they are so sweet together.

Piatt Lake - The 4th of July

We just got back from the most wonderful three weeks at the lake.  I cannot remember the last time we had such awesome weather (EVERY DAY) which made our time even more perfect.  Growing up at the lake during the summertime holds some of my favorite memories and I love that I am able to pass that on to Lu. 

My camera stopped working this past week but we were able to get my photos off the memory card before they send it for repairs.  I am so glad I have these pictures to look back on.  Chad spent the first week with us and then it was just us girls + nephews :)

I'll start with the 4th of July....one of my favorites :)  We started the day playing like we do best and ended the day in Paradise.
