Social Butterflies

Sometimes I amaze myself at how much I pack in while I'm home, but there is nothing more I love than catching up with family and dear friends. There was not one day that we didn't have multiple gatherings to attend. Bennett enjoyed all the action and I think I may have created a mini version of myself on the social curcuit. :) This is going to be a looong posting, so I apologize, but I wanted to capture all the moments of our wonderful trip home. Definitely one to remember.



Mom's 60th Birthday Dinner on June 26th. Happy Birthday Mom!! We love you SO much!

So nice to have an adult night on the town to celebrate my incredible mama minus the kiddo. We hired our first paid babysitter (a good family friend).

Mom and Golden Boy



Baby Elie arrived on June 26th, what a special day. I was so happy I was in town to meet her! She is so sweet.


Out for a morning stroll.

At Grandma's on Sunday, Carter ran up and jumped into Justin's arms to give him a big hug. They have such a special bond.

The cute cousins

Justin and his two favorite guys

Uncle Kyle adores his Godson Grandma was on feeding duty, diaper duty, bathtime duty, bedtime duty....you name it....she did it. THANK YOU mom for a much needed and appreciated break. :)

We celebrated Kennedy's 1st Birthday a week early since we'll miss her party. So sad to miss it, but what a treat to watch her open her gifts in person.Bennett showing Kennedy her card.

Her new baby doll from cousin Bennett.


My friend Meagan drove down from Olympia for our GU girls dinner and then came over to meet B for the first time. He pulled everything out of her purse and chewed on it too.

We miss you guys already! It was wonderful getting to see you a few times and spend time with Bennett. He's a doll and we love him to pieces. September can't come soon enough.
