June Grateful List
July 16, 2015
The word this June was "vacation" -- first we had our annual beach trip with (generous!) friends to stay at their place in Kitty Hawk, and then we had James's parents, sister, and BIL rent a house in Chic's Beach to visit with us. Two full weeks of awesome! By contrast, July feels positively lackluster (though we're doing our best to make our own fun).
This photo above is Anouk and Baby T. at the beach house -- breakfasts with two wild and crazy kids are the best but make me grateful for the existence of coffee.

Oh my gosh! LOVE "findacologist!" I'm thrilled with all your little baby kicks. I'm glad this isn't quite as worrisome a pregnancy this time for you, though I'm still praying for you both every day.
