Summer....

Apparently we've been pretty busy this summer, because I haven't posted pictures in a long time! Here are a few pictures of things we've been up to recently. Above, Brandt is becoming more and more independent, he loves using his own silverware.

Brandt is wearing his special 4th of July shirt at the lake last weekend. The water's a little cold to go swimming, but he loves splashing around. Somehow Brandt slept through 3 hours of fireworks on Saturday night. After all of it was over and quiet, he woke up at midnight....go figure!!

We celebrated my parent's 40th wedding anniversary as a family a few weeks ago. What a special occasion that we could share with them.

One of Brandt's new favorite things is walking up and down the dock at the lake....up and down....up and down...It's really hard to read a magazine or book when you're following a one year old up and down the dock....up and down....

Since we're raising a child in the 21st century, we thought we'd teach him texting early....he's getting pretty good, much faster than me.
