stars & stripes

dad's in australia this week. well, he technically doesn't land in sydney for another hour despite the fact that he left home over 24 hours ago! long travel week for him- an even longer week at home for me :)

we had the best 4th of july! the weather was absolutely perfect, and lucy enjoyed the lenexa parade SO much! she danced, pointed, squealed, recognized the "john deere tractors"- such fun! meanwhile, eloise hung out in the moby. she missed the whole darn parade snoozing in there :)

lucy and daddy checkin' out the festivities- i love that lucy loves wearing sunnies! 


we parked at meme's, and walked a mile to the parade. i can't believe we were able to do that in JULY without melting! & with a baby carrier on?! heaven. 



the girls in their holiday best :) holiday attire is one of my very favorite things! 



by the end of the night, my wild woman had had one too many bomb pops and sparklers...




we spent more time at the neighborhood pool before jon left town, per lucy's request. she's become such a little mermaid! can't believe how much she loves the water. we took this summer off from traveling given when eloise was born, but we're super excited to bring the girls to florida next may! we went last summer, but lucy was too young to remember. she'll be a great age for the beach next year! 


my pool date :) [redness on tummy due to being wrapped in the moby on the walk over- i'm telling you, she lives in that thing...loves it!] such a butterball. 


we've discovered dress-up :)


lucille and charles


look at those big round eyes! quite different from lucy's almonds. i love this little girl and feel so bonded to her! it's amazing to me that we hand't met 6 weeks ago...
