Hope everyone is enjoying summer. We certainly are! Our summer has stayed pretty busy. The week of the Fourth was a fun one. We went to the park with my mom and dad, Cade, Hannah, and Nick. Then Mike's parents (Ralph and Nancy) flew out from Maryland to meet Kate and visit with the family. We celebrated the Fourth of July at our house. We barbecued, went swimming in the neighbor's pool, enjoyed smores for dessert, and the kids watched the fireworks up in Jack's play structure. While Mike's parents were here, they got to go to one of Jack's swim lessons. We also went to my parent's for our annual Fourth of July party. (More pictures from that event to come later.) We ate out a few times at Olive Garden, P.F. Chang's and Corvette Diner. Ralph and Nancy also got to experience Cold Stone for the first time. Although we couldn't go far with a 3 month old baby, we did get a chance to go to Cabrillo National Monument and the zoo. Jack was busy with vacation bible school and Kate was busy being cranky. It was great to see Ralph and Nancy. We enjoyed having them. Here are some pictures from that week.

Kate is getting to be SOOOOOOOO cute!!! I just simply LOVE her adorable smile when she's sitting with her big brother. I just simply can't stand the cuteness of the first picture you have up there!!!
Jack is such a good big brother to Kate, holding her all the time. I just love how he's always happy and has a smile on his face.
I'm just so happy to see all you guys having so much fun this summer. I'm looking forward to seeing you all at school when it starts in just a couple of weeks!!! :)
