~JULY~

July in the Midwest looked a lot like this. 

National Ice Cream Day at a Quad Cities institution, Whiteys. 

and this one got more on his clothes and the ground than in his mouth 

Nora and I have been doing some yoga

and we had some nice evening walks...this cornfield is at the end of our street.  davis calls them "corn trees" 

and there's a Free Little Library in a butterfly garden not far from our house

snuggling, there is always snuggling 

 

we have a great backyard neighbor who comes over to play with our kiddos--she's a fifth grader who makes up lots of games to play with the kids.  they love it. 

 

Nora started to help make breakfast.  We're starting with cereal :)  

and then carrying in groceries...everyone has a job, even Macky the Door Holder

We had some lunch dates with Daddy at the Arsenal 

and many more adventures in Potty Training. 

There is also this super yummy pizza place by the house. We had our first family Chicago style pizza.  

and our friends got a kitten.  Nora was in Heaven.
