laila

Laila's new favorite toy is a phone or a hello as she calls it. Yesterday in the car she was playing with her toy cell phone and would drop it and say, "want my hello!"

Zinnias

I love that these flowers thrive in the heat of the south. They are so easy to care for and grow like weeds!

vacation at the lake

Last week we went on a relaxing vacation to the lake. We rented several cabins with Brian's family at a state park in Louisiana. The cabins were huge and so nice with beautiful views of the lake. The kids were looking forward to this trip for a while and had fun fishing, hiking, swimming and playing with cousins. The adults had fun staying up late and playing lots of games. After going on two vacations in a row it was hard to get back to everyday life!
