ready for the 4th!

yesterday, mercy and i had a bit of a dance party after breakfast. hilarious fun! she was very serious about her dancing, but also offered some lovely smiles. here are the results.

baby girl #2 has been having her own little dance party lately. she's had hiccups a lot, too, which is especially fun for andy. it's really starting to hit us that our new baby will be joining the family in about 7 weeks. wow!

we're loving summer in boulder. we had a great date the other night, thanks to our friend shauna. and we're looking forward to soaking up some holiday fun next week with loved ones. happy 4th!

fun with smokey the bear

mercy just returned from the ranger station with andy. we're planning a camping trip and she was thrilled to be included in the fun. she's sporting her smokey the bear pin and creating a masterpiece on her smokey coloring page. the final shot is from a dress-up session earlier this week.

just eight weeks now until baby #2's due date!

pretty blue dress

mercy had a wonderful time at our friends andy & tara's wedding last weekend. here are a few shots of her during the outdoor reception. she's wearing the lovely dress aunt amy made her.

ponytails and potties

mercy's hair is long enough to pull back in a little ponytail now. what a big girl! we've also started the process of potty training. she's had some early success. we'll see if it lasts...

here are some photos from the past few weeks, including andy and me (and my continually growing belly) after andy photographed a wedding.
