We are enjoying an unusually cool morning. All my windows are open and a gentle, cool breeze is wafting in as I sit at my desk, I hear the birds calling out to each other, and the squirrels chasing each other through the trees. After two weeks of stifling heat and humidity, we are loving this. As I write this, the sun breaks the clouds and there are little rays of sunshine filtering in through the blinds. What a lovely morning!
Last weekend, we had Aaron’s family in town and invited our friends, the Kachers, to come over for dinner. We always enjoy our time with them and the little girls are so much fun 🙂 Bonnie brought over a fresh garden salad and a yummy dessert (scroll down for the pic). I decided to try a Summer Pasta Salad. I was thrilled with how simple this was and yet how well it came together. I made a huge bowl of this salad and it was all gone!
Bonnie’s awesome babies (okay, Ben’s too). This is Piper, who likes being kissed on her neck as it makes her laugh. I happily oblige to do just that when she is around and she wants more.
This is Paije, who cannot look right at the camera if you count to three. It took me several attempts until I pressed the button when I counted one, and lucked out with this shot. 🙂 She is a wriggly, squirmy, bundle of energy who has yummy, squishy, kissable cheeks, and who always wants me to read to her. In fact, if I am over at her house during her bedtime, we end up reading together for almost an hour! I love these two babies so much and love that Ben and Bonnie share them with us so freely!
