Four Months








Our sweet baby girl is already four months old. We are so glad she decided to come over a month early...it's that much more time we get with her. Clara is rolling over, pushing up on her arms, smiling, laughing, cooing and watching the world around her with interest and delight. Her favorite object of observation is her big brother Ben. No surprise, Ben enjoys having the audience.

Paul, Cully, Matt and Abby came through from Ohio on their way to a beach vacation on the Outer Banks. It was fun to have the cousins together and Ben still asks about Abby and Matt daily. What's wild to think about is that Matt was close to Ben's age at our wedding back in '99. Abby was a sweet little flower girl without a front tooth back then and now she is taller than Leah!

We are completely ready for the hot and humid days of summer to end. The entire family is covered in bug bites. We have had some spectacular thunder/lighting storms in the evening that are quite dramatic. One comfort is knowing that a beautiful fall is inching ever closer.
