One of our biggest blessings of this summer has been connecting with my cousin, Jonica (my girls call her Auntie Jonica), and spending time with her and her family (my girls adore Georgia!) at their lake place in Cocolalla. Each day we have gone has been so fun! I look up to my cousin so much and I have loved learning more about her. It's been so good!

I just love my babies at bath time. Maeve loves a good bath and she loves to splash. She keeps us all so entertained. I adore this sweet little gal.

My sweet Maeve is 8 months. Today, she looked noticeably longer and bigger to me. She continues to have the sweetest temperament and makes the funniest noises. Her laugh is hilarious. She loves attention. Maeve loves Holly and Greta, although I believe I am her favorite person. Breastfeeding has been a struggle. We had some really great months until month 5 or 6 and then problems upon problems. I'm persevering - I refuse to give it up. I love nursing my baby! Maeve isn't sleeping through the night consistently and she wakes up earlier than I'd like her to so I'm Tired. But we'll get there... right??

I love this baby with all my heart! 

Three girls. It's the best. These sisters... I love watching them interact.

This past weekend we were in Yahk with my family and it was so great. My parents are great hosts and spoil us with delicious dinners and lots of fun. Holly and Greta love going to Yahk - they enjoy so much freedom there and they adore their cousins. We left knowing that we need to go to Yahk for a longer stint next summer.
