Me and Jonah-my 4th doula baby!
Our big 2 year old! ^Our sweet crawler! ^
We have a real official crawler as of a few days ago and one doing the whole potty learning thing. We have a 6 month old and a 2 year old! Our girls are growing up!! It really does make me quite sad but excited at the same time. It's great seeing them grow up and even growing to like each other's company more and more. Nothing melts my heart more then to see Emerald loving on her little sister and then seeing Winter's smile and laugh when Emerald is around.

We've had a lot of fun stuff going on lately, birthday parties, pool playdates, saying goodbye to good friends and making new ones. I LOVE summer time and all the opportunities to play outdoors and get out of the house without worrying about layering clothing and all that jazz.

Emerald shared her second birthday party with her friend, Orly this year. We had a great time at the splash party-playing in the kiddie pools and in the sprinklers. It was bittersweet because Orly and her family moved to Florida this week. The Pearlman's are great family friends so it was sad to see them go, but we look forward to visiting them in the near future. :)

Both of the girls LOVE the pool and going to our friend, Bianca and Mira's house to play at the splash park-it's no wonder since they were both born in the water! It's really nice to have friends with access to a pool especially on these hot NC days!

Sam is running 5k's pretty much every weekend. We've gone with him the past 3 times and Emerald loves seeing all the people run past at the starting line. They also usually play music where all the "booths" are at the race, so she enjoys "dancing it up" while we wait for daddy to finish.



We are officially done with school until the fall. Sam decided to take the rest of the summer off when he saw how much the short summer classes entailed. It was just too much. Basically he would come home from work and right after dinner start on his schoolwork and go until 11 pm at night. A break was def. needed. So we'll enjoy this time and then get back on the horse in the fall.



I was able to attend another birth last month. My dear friend Aree had her baby boy at home on May 29th, one day before Emerald's birthday! I was in charge of taking care of Orly and explaining the birth to her. It was very special to see this family of three become a family of four!

That's a brief update of our lives lately. What's been happening in your families lives?
