Hopefully that catches everyone up on summer activities. Activity has been so continuous I haven't blogged at all. We are looking forward now to the fall that has quickly crept up on us; enjoy the last of the summer!

Adventures in Eating

Josephine is eating. Alot. She LOVES to eat! And, she is so adorable when she eats, we had to get pictures. So, brace yourself, here is an eating, growing, precious little girl! And after the cleansing bath. :)
