Adios, Harness

The final moments of the harness were captured below. I was never so happy to say good-bye to something, however, I am very grateful that this problem was fixed so easily & with no pain to her!

Splash Park

We took Julia to the Splash Park. I kept meaning to get over there this summer, but, it just hadn't happened yet. I'm really glad Jake was there, because, she was really scared (big surprise?) at first, but, he was able to ease her into it. She did throw a fit when we were leaving & I was glad because that meant she liked it, but, when I asked her in the car if she wanted to go back she said no...oh 2 year olds!

Cousin Time

Had a fun visit with the Kimball Cousins. Didn't really succeed at getting the "perfect" shot of Kennedy & Julia, but, still got some cute ones.

Family Reunion

We had a fun time at the annual Peterson Family Reunion. It is held on my Grandpa's farm every year. Julia was very scared of the Tractor & started shaking every time it came close...maybe next year she will ride on it unless she turns out to be tractorphobic. Also, I am not sure the next time she will step close to the pond...you can see below she got a little close & fell in (the very shallow part).

Wedding Party

My Mom & Aunts threw an after wedding party for all the Illinois folks that didn't go to my cousin Carrie's Wedding in CA. We had lots of fun & the girls stayed up way past bedtimes. It was a great party with DIY Gyros & Karaoke...I only wish I had gotten more pictures. It is so hard to watch babies & take pictures @ the same time! Julia had fun playing with CJ & Gibson.

Movie Night

I am sorry if I am getting repetitive w/pictures...I am just getting really panicky that I am going to miss even one moment. They are growing way too fast!!!

Tonight, for a treat, I let Julia watch her favorite movie, Cars. She sat in that exact position on the couch for the entire movie (116 minutes) & when it was over she said..."more cars?".
