lucy jane started preschool today! she was so very excited, she hardly looked back to tell her mama goodbye :)

betsy claire turned 7 months & popped 2 teeth, which made for an absolutely terrible 4 nights & multiple coffee-pot-filled 4 days. but she's so dang sweet & smoochable, she's almost caused me to forget... almost :) 

eloise ate the watercolors again :)

& we've been enjoying as much time indoors as possible. this heat is still insane! with september 1 just around the corner, we're ready for cooler weather & zoo + farm trips to resume :)

my gramma gets in town today, followed by my sister & her boys tomorrow, and my aunt & uncle the next day. we have a fun week planned & lucy is absolutely ecstatic for time with great gramma helen :)

xoxo,
