Oh! And our clematis bloomed!

We have a lovely park about half a mile from home. Last Sunday around 7am, we were the only ones there and Harry took to playing “store.” From the enjoyable comfort of my swing, I was conscripted to buy water from him for a dollar. Okay, so he had no clue what he was doing but he knew the motions and had a blast! Thank heavens the wind never picked up or I would have lost some cash. 
   
    
 
He also learned to climb up a little slide without assistance and was really proud of himself. 

Seriously, how beautiful and sweet is this?! Can’t write posts about Jake and Kristen and not publish this sweetness. The best mommy to be!!!!!!

Grandma and Bebop gave Harry a water table and Dan gave him a water pistol.  This was certainly going to mean trouble for Aunt Kristen…Harry’s sound effects here are pretty outstanding.

Harry got a bug collector for his birthday!! He decorated with Uncle Jake and collected the same ant three or four times…at least. It should go without saying that bug collecting is not a mother-approved hobby. I just can’t wait to buy little Huddleston baby some really noisy, primary colored toys. And Barney and Yo Gabba Gabba videos. 

All kidding aside, I love these two and their boy bonding. Melts the heart. 

Celebrating with family and neighbors tonight!

Birthday morning before school. I couldn’t talk him into opening a present. He just wanted a pink donut. 

Our Fourth of July and 2nd birthday celebration in Goshen. Lots of love for this little one. It’s truly extraordinary to see him surrounded by so much love!!! He is so blessed, this child. Lots of hugs, kisses, laughs,  presents and ICE CREAM!!

We also got great time with the Weirs and Jankowskis. Priceless friends. Carys and Clara are just so full of spunk and precious and cute and I could spend all day plying with these little sweetie pies!!!

Mom and Dad went home on Wed, to tears and lots of precious memories! We miss them so!
