Hospital...

A certain someone in our life was in the hospital having surgery a couple weeks ago.  That certain someone is very special to us and she is at home now in recovery mode.  We are so thankful that everything went good and she is at home taking it easy.  I spent a few days at the hospital and the girls joined us there a couple times.  It's a bit much to have little ones running around the hospital room but they did a good job.  They especially loved sitting on the hospital bed.  In the last picture Liv is icing her head;) 

the box that daddy built...

Lateaf built the girls a sand box from a DIY project found on pinterest.  I showed him the idea and he ran with hit adding some of his own character:)  The blue tarp is there to protect us from the rain, which we have had slim to none of, but we're ready in case:)  Eventually we will put outdoor fabric over the top of it.  The girls love their very own sandbox!

Concert in the park

Last night we ventured out to our nearby park for a free concert in the park.  It was a beautiful night with a couple drops of rain.  I had a blast listening to the music and watching the girls run around in the grass.  At one point Liv went up to this much older boy who was pulling the grass out in clumps and throwing it up in the air.  Liv joined him.  Harper went over there too and then looked back at our reaction to see if this was ok.  We shook our heads no and at one point I looked at Teaf and said, "I mean it's not ok to pull the grass and throw it in the air right?"  He agreed. :) We then had Harper attempt to bring her sis back to us.  It was pretty cute watching her try to guide her sis away from the boy.  It was a success.  I especially enjoyed the people watching.  There was this couple (in their 60's) who got up and danced a few songs.  It was really sweet to watch.

Shay & Jay

Cousin Eric married Emily a couple weekends ago at the Durham Museum.  It was a beautiful wedding and a lot of fun.  I didn't take many pictures and didn't even get one of the bride and groom.  The girls had a BLAST dancing the night away.  They were dancing until like 11pm. -LATE-  Liv was all over the place dancing while raising the roof.  Harper too was a dancin machine and was even trying to break dance.  Yay for wedding season:)

Water Spouts...

It's that time of year again where you can only stand to be outside if you are near water.  The water spouts down the street are always a nice place to cool off.  Between there, the lake weekends, and the "splash pad" we are staying cool with 100 degree weather.  The farmers on the other hand are in a bad way because not only has it been extremely hot but we haven't had any rain.  It rained the other night for a short bit and it felt AMAZING.  The smell was refreshing and I was doing a little rain dance in hopes for more of it.  No luck sense:(
