sweet summertime

July has been one crazy month for us, and we are only 8 days in! While we didn't have any plans for the fourth of July, we were certainly hoping to make it a fun, midweek holiday, but our AC broke! Of course we have been breaking records with this crazy heat wave, so needless to say...it was HOT! We tried to make the most of it for the day (not wanting to pay extra holiday rates)...so we got frozen yogurt, went to the bookstore, sat in front of fans, but before too long, our house was pushing 90 degrees and that's just not cool...especially with a baby! Emma and I went to grammy and papa's house for the night, and we could not have been happier to have some friendly temperatures, but poor Ryan sweated it out. Thankfully, we were back up and running the next day, but it still took a little while for the house to cool down.

We have been wanting to go to the art museum, and today turned out to be a perfect time...it is too hot to do anything outside. We had such a nice time, it was busy but it's always nice to go and appreciate the exhibits and although Emma may be too young to fully appreciate it now, I hope it will become a frequent place to visit and inspire her creativity. On our way home, I told Ryan I wish the weekend would never end and it could somehow turn into groundhogs day so we could just keep this on repeat. Oh sigh, I'm pretty sure Monday will come, but I suppose it does make our weekends all the more sweet.

life lately


We are loving the summer and even though we wish we had a vacation in the works, we are still enjoying every minute. Emma is our little busy body now, crawling all over the place and wishing she could walk (but standing and 'cruising' on everything she can). Every single night Ryan and I talk about how awesome she is, and how much fun we are having with her, and as our family of three...(well, four including Riley).
