sweet harte & sis

He finally did it! After months of deliberations and being all talk about shaving the head, Josh pulled the trigger. I am loving it with his summer tan. Of course why does he get to look all good while I am sitting here and my preggo thighs seem to be taking over my body. Oh well, there's always next summer.

And how cute is this crabby set. You would think that after having 3 girls of her own auntie em would not have time to spoil her niece...think again...she even sent a matching terry after swim robe!

ROCKS.....i just realized this year that you can buy fireworks at our local market. No beer is sold on Sundays, but fireworks, no problem. Yes, that's right, I'll take the toilet paper, frozen peas and how about some bottle rockets to go. And of course I could not resist. So at my friends 4th bbq the parents of the 2year olds were like, 'you can thank miss jenny for introducing you to fireworks." I mean hello, we all knew we'd be home inside the house by 7:30pm, so we had to have a little fun.

And yes, we did have a red,white and blue outfit theme week. Just an excuse to use all the cute hairbows aunti sent.

We went to a block parade with our playgroup buds and followed the local firetruck down the street. Here is Harte and Ellie sharing a wagon ride. And our buddies Jackson and Owen in the boys wagon. And of course cute little Claire with mommy
Annie. A fun day that had us rushed inside after dinner when the winds turned and a storm hit us. As if we would have been up for the fireworks. I am thinking maybe 2010 will be the year we actually venture somewhere to watch them downtown. I do miss the summer days of walking down to the beach and plopping down on the blanket to watch the works over the ocean.

Harte and her Bella are quite a pair. (how cool is the tank sent by the best auntie in the world!) Bella has found a permanent home under the highchair. One may wonder why my little one has such tan legs, that is due to Bella and her morning routine of licking off all the sunscreen I put on Harte. Harte has mastered the art of the Heisman to avoid Bella lick attacks. But Harte is no shrinking violet....the pic of her at the front door looks sweet and innocent but that is only because you can not see Bella on the other side. Harte was banging the door, teasing Bella and laughing while the dog was having a barking fit, dying to come out. Sweet Bella doesn't even have a clue of the torment that will come her way.

Geege and Bob came for a visit and we had sooooo much fun!
