Goings On

-Friday and Saturday, my niece and nephew stayed with us while their parents went to go watch a Mariners game and have a little weekend getaway in Seattle. On Friday, we drove over to my parent's house to swim. They have an above-ground pool that is the PERFECT size for kids their age, and they were totally hilarious the entire time.

-My aunt also gave me my birthday present early-- The Help!!! I am so excited to read it. I feel like I have been on the waiting list at the library forever! I am trying to make myself finish the library book that I'm currently halfway through, but we'll see. I want to read it really bad.

-After Payton and Logan went home, we had someone from a traveling music ministry stay with us for the night. My sister and Justin's brother were both in the program for a year, so it was nice to be able to help out. Still, it's been a busy two weeks in terms of guests. It's been two weeks in a row of solid guests! 

-This morning, Lizzy WOULD. NOT. NAP. At one point, I walked into her room and saw this:

 I'd seen her pull herself to standing a couple of times before, but this was the first time I caught her doing it in her crib. Looks like it's time to lower the mattress!

-Tomorrow, I have to get up at like 3am. Good Lord. I'm going to shoot my brother's senior pictures, and he wants to do them at sunrise (and we have quite a drive to get where we're going). I just can't get over how early that is. It is SO early that none of the coffee places here will be open! But, in his words, I am pretty sure the shoot will be "epic".

-This next picture is technically bad (I forgot to switch the ISO and had left it at 1600), but I love it anyway.

Baby feet make me swoon.
