Good-bye July!

It seems like each day goes by faster than the one before it... maybe that's because Katherine seems to get faster each day. Looking back, we've had a great month! Katherine has sure done a good job soaking up every minute of summer:

She and Daddy have been taking daily runs through the park. Every once in awhile, they have something particularly interesting to share (like this goat that they ran into from a lady who owns a petting zoo):

This week we're particularly lucky to have Mommy's cousin John, his wife Sarah, and their kids Benjamin and Breanna visit as well! Katherine thinks her new big cousins are pretty cool and she loves chasing them all around Grambie and Grandpop's house.

Yesterday we took a trip up the Incline and got to see some great views of the city.

Katherine thought the experience was pretty sweet:

It's wonderful to experience summer through the eyes of a toddler again. Katherine is eager to try EVERYTHING, from chocolate ice cream, to fresh picked tomatoes, to running through the sprinkler or slipping down the slide. All of her little joys bring us so much joy every day!
