June- July

In many ways, time has not flown by this summer but here I am posting for the first time in a while and looking back much has happened so far. We came back from visiting family over Memorial Day and we have had so many reasons to celebrate. Pierce turned four, yes 4! My first ever God child named William Hayes Blakeman was born it our dear friends Haley and Shannon. Next, our family welcomed Joseph Thomas Ellison to the world, whom we are so excited to meet in late August. Curtis had a birthday over the 4th of July, with a big party to boot. Our beloved Aunt Mocha came to visit us in Austin and now we are back from a quick beach trip to Galveston with both Mimi and Mama Elaine.

And I am hoping we will have some photos posted soon. I had a glitch in my computer and while solving the primary problem, we accidentally removed my photo editing software. I am hoping to reload it in the next couple of days while Pierce is in Louisiana visiting family. The next few posts will not have any text but they will include Pierce, his new bike and a random assortment of photos from the previously mentioned events of the summer. We hope you are all doing well. Much love to you all-

Memorial Day

A little late on the posting but here are some from our visit with family and friends (in no particular order)-

Summer cut-

He's back!

Actually, they are both back. However, Griff is the cat with the most impact. Mimi came last weekend and along with her came our two cats- one with this lovely haircut. Fun, fun! Have I told you how much we missed them... probably not because we were hoping Mimi would adopt them for good :)

Pierce has really enjoyed having Lucy around and of course, she is making friends with all the neighbors. Griff seems pretty confused still with the new house and is busy being mistaken as a really mean squirrel throughout the neighborhood.

back from Boston...

for over a month now! Yes, it has taken me quite a while to post these but I wanted to get these up from our trip to Boston last month. Pierce and I headed up to visit Shelly and the rest of Ward family for a long weekend and it was just the get-a-way we desperately needed. Highlights included the Big Apple Circus, a Duck Tour, a Red Sox vs. Yankees game but most importantly plenty of time with my big sister and her wonderful family. How those trips leave me wishing that we all lived closer...
