INTRODUCING. . .

Taneah Hope!!!

Today was the big day where Taneah was given our last name. The whole thing was fast and surreal. I can't tell you how good it feels to have it FINAL! Through the ups and downs and round and rounds adoption is a beautiful thing and I can't imagine our family without her!

Due to this great occasion we had to celebrate! It was a great party and a perfect day!

The incredible cake thanks to auntie Jessie. Don't worry Shannon we saved you a piece:)

The puppet show

The water slide!

Tubs of fun!

YEAH!!!

Frozen fudgepops, fireworks and fun

We had a sort of Norman Rockwell Feel to our 4th of July. The town we live in LOVES fireworks and everybody is Bar-B-Qing in thier front yards and having family and friends over. Even though Daddy was busy selling the fireworks we had a great time with the neighbors.
Jonah was Pat's ( our neighbor) right hand man when it came to lighting off the fireworks. Until the big stuff came out then he stayed seated closely to mom.
Yummy!

During the day the kids played in the little pool and ran in the slip and slide. T decided to take a little drink:) I love this shot it sort of captures summer to me.
