The End of July

July is officially coming to an end. New school supplies are being bought. I'm labeling everything. It looks like school is back in session... soon. 

 Shocked that summer's nearly over

Tuesdays have been our Ranch 99 shopping days. I promised Charlotte I'll try to make her some chicken feet this time.  Hopefully I don't disappoint... 

Chicken feet! 

We didn't really do anything that special this summer. I would like to blame this summer of laziness on having a baby. I can't even say newborn anymore because Evangeline's no longer a NB. But more on her later... One thing we did do this weekend was go to Land's End for our first family hike. I would say it was a success. 

Pretty good family picture

Crazy CoCo

I'm not really sure why her name is CoCo. Charlotte wants her nickname at home to be crazy CoCo. Anyway, this girl was able to walk the entire hike by herself. She usually complains about being tired ALL. THE. TIME.

Little Evangie isn't that little anymore. She's on her way to turning six months old! We started solids this week (not a fan of oatmeal - don't blame her, she's getting accustomed to peas). She likes to "stand", grab everything and stuff it in her mouth, smile, and people watch.

 Lu-Bear

I wouldn't say he's a handful right now - but his ears need some cleaning. It takes Lucas a while to get things done, and he's kind of testing out what he can get away with.

I wish it wasn't so foggy... 

And that wraps up July! Two more weeks till orientation time.
