Happy (belated) 4th of July!

We just returned from spending several fun-filled days up at the lake. Graham LOVES the "yake house", as he calls it, and if Amelia could talk, I have a feeling she'd be saying the same thing. Both kids can't get enough of of playing outside, swimming in their little pool, hanging out on the boat, eating way too much junk food, and being spoiled by all the attention their family loves to shower them with. We were lucky enough to be able to celebrate the 4th with a great group of friends and family. Graham and Amelia's great grandparents journeyed to the north woods from Florida as did their Great Aunt and Uncle from St. Louis. Baby Miles and his parents as well as a fantastic group of family friends helped us celebrate and witness the giant pig roast....something Uncle Peter has been wanting to do for years!
Unfortunately, the sleeping issues have crept back into our lives....Amelia does great as long as Graham isn't in the room to disturb her, and Graham just isn't happy unless he's in his very own crib. So, all four of us arrived home ready to catch up on some undisturbed and much needed sleep. Amelia and Graham were positively giddy to be reunited with their house. Graham actually said he loved his house and Amelia rolled around on the floor laughing as she smashed into her toys. As much as we all enjoy a weekend getaway, there really is no place like home!
Amelia LOVES the water!

Taking a break from the sun to watch Thomas

This is what happens when kids don't sleep well at night....we go out for breakfast and they fall asleep 2 minutes into the ride!


Enjoying the boat parade on the 4th

Happy to be splashing in the water. Graham was still napping at this point, so Amelia got the pool all to herself!

Burger King Royalty...we had to make a stop on the way home

Too cute! I LOVE Amelia's pigtails! I don't know how you get her to sit still to put them in! I hope everyone got some much needed sleep last night!
