some June highlights

We had a wonderful June

Only August would be found playing in the river in a splendid shirt

trying to be like dad

my guys partying in the pool

He loves his papa so much and loves time with him

We got to play with a litter of bulldog puppies! It was amazing!

Do you see the italian in him? :)

Here is Aug doing his most favorite thing to do in the world... hang out with dad

These two have been reading books together since the second day of August's life.

It makes my heart smile.

August's Dedication

On May 30th August was dedicated at our church in Durango

My awesome dad grilling for everyone

Some of our friends

It was an amazing and exciting day! We are so blessed to have so many people supporting and loving us in our parenting endeavors. I am constantly amazed that God has in trusted us with this child to raise him up in the way that he should go... what a huge responsibility and an incredible blessing.

Time with Family in Iowa

Though going to Iowa for Grandpas funeral was an extremely sad event, it was, as always, amazing to see our family. This was Augusts first trip to Iowa since being born and he finally got to meet the incredible family he has there!

Here he is with his Grammy Sue

Good bye Grandpa Berrnie

The beginning of May brought with it the passing of Grandpa McKinley. He was an amazing man who loved his God, his Family and his Country. Words can not describe how much he is missed!
