Lucy's blessing

My Dad came into town this last week for work so since he was here we decided to bless Lucy. I was sad that we weren't going to have anybody here for it but it ended up working out great. My Grammy and Uncle Greg also woke up super early the day of and drove up from Salem, VA. Also, if you didn't already know my brother TJ is staying with us for the summer so all in all we had a great support group! Lucy's blessing was beautiful and Ansleigh was so well behaved. Here are some pictures.

                                                       Hooray!!! I've been blessed!

4th and 5th

I love the 4th of July; one of my favorite holidays for sure. We had every intention on going all out this year but by the time 6 pm came around we changed our minds (no fireworks for us).

We made sure to make it to the Fairfax parade in the morning. I think the reason we were done by 6 pm was due to our hot hot walk to the parade. Ansleigh loved the bands and dancers the most, that is really all that is fun in a parade anyways. I had the girls wear the dresses I made. They are called pillowcase dresses and are extremely simple and perfect for my first dress. I plan to get more adventurous but need to start with the basics. I think they turned out pretty cute for such a simple dress. 

The evening of the 4th consisted of burgers, disc golf and a lot of patriotic country music (Dave surprisingly didn't complain about that). 

Yesterday Dave, Lucy and I went to the Giants Nats game Once again it was blazing hot, but we still had a ton of fun and the 9 innings went by surprisingly fast. I think watching baseball on TV is so boring but it is so much fun in the stadium, partially due to the amazing people watching (ha!). I hope we keep going to Nats games, even if the Giants aren't in town!
