This weekend was a flurry of purchasing last minute things for the wedding weekend ahead, and I finally got around to putting the boys in their outfits that they will wear to the reception. Besides the missing bow ties and missing shirt on Nathan's behalf, I would say we are ready to party!

#86 Construction Party Thank You Cards.
I needed to send thank you cards for Nathan's birthday guests, and I could not find the simple construction-theme thank you card I had in mind, so I decided to make one instead. It took only five minutes to create on Word, and I just love the way it turned out. Such a simple detail to … Continue reading #86 Construction Party Thank You Cards.

#73 Nathan turns One.
The day arrived, and our little man is officially a one-year-old. We all took the day off to spend together as a family.

Every Friday, Will's class is asked to bring in items that start with a particular letter. This week, the letter "C" was selected.

Andrew has been itching to get Will outside in a tent so Will can try camping … Continue reading #61 Camping in the Backyard.
#60 Taco Party.
Tonight we went to our neighbors' house for a neighborhood taco party. About 5 families were there, all with our kids, husband, and wives, easily tallying 20 people. It was so nice to have a low-key night not having to cook and catching up with our good friends. This summer has just flown by. I … Continue reading #60 Taco Party.
#53 A walk to the park.
Today we tried out the new sidewalk that runs from our neighborhood to the local park nearby.

The weather this weekend has been so wonderful, with temps in the … Continue reading #53 A walk to the park.
