Misc. August & before .... (since my blogging is capricious...inconsistant....etc.:)

Okay, so I don't claim to be the most consistent & reliable blogger. But... since I have the plan to print this blog and bind it as a book at the end of the year, and use it as a "family photo journal album", I don't want to forget any of my favorite parts of this summer. This summer has been a dream, since before Lola was born, hanging out in the hot summer heat, 8-9 months pregnant (with all the excitement waiting for her to come), to of course after she was born mid-July, and the past six weeks that we've been hanging out together, at home, at the pool, out to lunch, on long walks with Stella, and having such a dreamy & memorable summer! Since I'm going back to work tomorrow, I thought I should take the time to post a couple extra of my favorite missed moments of August and before. . .


The pool - Hadley Ferran loves her new little friend who she calls "LoLo" even every time they drive by our house. She's such a motherly little thing to Lola, and we all get the biggest kick out of it. At the pool a few weeks ago, Hadley made sure Lola didn't go a moment longing for her bink. She kept offering it to her so sweetly. So much fun!!

... and of course, Zack has had a way with the little ones lately (like always). They love just chillin with him. Kaden Morzeleweski and Hadley Ferran (and Stells of course) wanted to play video games with him the other day. :)

We've been out on a couple boating outings this month, so much fun!! Thanks Todd and Morgs!

Danielle with Lola - Lola and I have been out to lunch with Danielle, several times, along with many of my other girlfriends, my mom, etc.:). It's been so fun just pal'ing around with Lola, lunching and running errands. She's just such a sweet portable kid!


Just before Lola was born, our brother and sister-in-law TJ & Christie brought little Kate out from DC for a visit. She's just 5 months older than Lola, and they share the same middle name - Jayne - . Kate was SO darling when she was out here. I mean honestly, does she really realize it's her little cousin in my big belly in the pic, and it's like she's totally excited to play with her? Yep, Kate is very clever.

Lola gave Kate a little kick as if to say hello while Kate was sitting with me. We're really looking forward to having them together to play this Christmas!!

Kate was ALL SMILES with uncle Zack too. It was so much fun having them here!
