Motherhood Mondays: Music in the Park and Barefoot with Bubbles

Last night was the perfect summer evening for a picnic and music in the park. 

Miss E even put on a little ballet performance for the crowd which we were able to record.

Motherhood Mondays: Father's Day and Weekend Recap

We had a such a fun day celebrating Father's Day and having Miss E turn 3 1/2 on Sunday. 

After our picnic in Zilker Park I surprised Elle and Chris with a trip to Big Top, an old fashioned candy/ ice cream parlor! After all, who doesn't want to play around like they are still a kid and pick out all the candy they want.

We heart the Midwest

Our summer kicked off a few weeks ago by attending my niece's high school graduation. 

Elle had a blast with her cousins!
