Olivia and Hope visit from New Orleans

Casey and cousins, Hope and Olivia had a fun time playing during the visit. They entertained each other very well.

They liked to dance together too. Casey wanted to do everything the "big" girls were doing

Lake Anna in mid July

In mid-July, cousins Hope and Olivia visited for a week from New Orleans. We were very busy having lots of fun. These pictures are from Lake Anna in Virginia. It was a hot, sunny day at the lake... perfect for fun in the water.

This is a GREAT video that my friend Lemons took of Casey. Casey is quite the singer.... when she is happy she just starts singing. You can't help but smile when you see and hear her. I hope you take the time to watch this.

Nap time for Casey's babydolls and animals

One of Casey's favorite things to do in June and July was to put all her stuffed animals and babies down for a nap. She put them on their belly to sleep (like she sleps) and would take dish towels or napkins from one of our drawers to cover them. She would then pat their back to help them to sleep. It was adorable every time!

Happy 4th of July

Pictures from the Fairfax city 4th of July Parade. It was a great parade, especially for children.

We were dressed for the festivities!
