Beating the Heat!

We've been enjoying the hottest summer in memory! Thankfully we have air conditioning in the house, so we have been able to come inside and cool off.

Benjamin and Shepherd

The other day, we had some heat "refugees" in our friends the Thomasons. It was fun spending time with them, and they were able to get away from their hot house for a while! This is baby Shepherd, who is three weeks older than Sadie.

This was the first time that Sadie and Shepherd have really interacted with eachother. We are excited for them to be great friends just like their older siblings Charlie and Ben. They LOVED splashing around in the baby pool.

Recently Paul and I attended a surprise 30th birthday party for a good friend and Canliss restaurant in Seattle. Since it was the same week as our anniversary, we used it as a good excuse to get dressed up and celebrate!

Here we are eight years ago.....

And this is how far we've come... celebrating our actual anniversary in pajamas and no makeup!! We had done plenty of celebrating for the last couple weeks, so we opted for a mellow night at home, with some Princess Torte, of course!

Charlie also attended his first Skyhawks camp last week... Basketball, Baseball, and Soccer. He had a great time with some of his neighborhood buddies, and mommy enjoyed having him entertained for a few hours each day!

The kids have also been in swim lessons for the past two weeks, and they are having a blast. I keep forgetting to bring the camera, so I'll do that next week and post pictures soon.
