Fourth of July - Nan, Papa, & Uncle Tom visit!

We had a fun and productive 4th of July week. Nan & Papa came to visit and while they were here we had a home project to complete! Tim & Dad did the lions share of the project, while Mom & I cared for Aaron, made meals, and did our best to help while Aaron was napping and in bed at night. The process was a rocky one, but the finished product looks great! We painted all of the doors in the house white and changed the hardware to some nice brushed nickel, rather than old brass. Aaron couldn't be hanging around the house during this project, so Mom and I took him to the zoo for some fun!



The bear was cooling off with some relaxing backstrokes! It was hilarious- he was just swimming back and forth doing the backstroke!

Aaron and Nan had a great time on the carousel.


Tom arrived from New York on the 4th of July and we all went up to Milwaukee for SummerFest. We had a great time eating lots of good food, listening to some great music, and visiting with Paul, Michelle, Beth, Maria, and John.



This was the first time that Aaron had been given a full ice cream cone and he LOVED it!


On the 5th we went to the Taste of Chicago where we ate MORE good food! Aaron (and the rest of us) loved the Rainbow cone! He enjoyed some time on Daddy's shoulders!
