Book Club

So last year I joined an amazing group of Mamas who love to read and talk about life and raising kids and the spiritual journey of being a parent. I'm sure there are a bunch of different things we could call our group - I choose to call us a book club...it makes me feel like a sophisticated and hip Mama...
We get together every week over coffee, after the kiddos are in bed, and by the time I get home Andrew is fast asleep. But I love these women and feel blessed to walk through life with them.
This weekend we met rather spontaneously at the bluffs at Corona Del Mar for a little wine and cheese picnic with our families. It was fun and totally chaotic, but we had a blast.

Around the house...

Happy Summer!
Here are a few things we've been up to this month:

The three of us at our friend Colby's 30th bday.

Emma has taken to helping out with the dishwasher.

Here she is practicing the piano. As you can see, she is really focused.Andrew split his head open while taking out the trash. I told him to put some ice on it.

Emma and Taylor at Andrew's Summer League Softball Team BBQ.

Emma and Ethan chilling together in someone else's wagon.

Emma and Lucy enjoying the pool. Emma's latest way to pass the time on warm days...stripping down and playing in the water.
