It's been a great July with lots of classic, simple summer fun!
Lemonade stand for the Champs swim meet... we didn't have as many customers as expected because golf carts were shuttling people to the pool and they didn't stop by us.
My 3 sons ;)... the boys love Murphy so, so much!
The boys built "snuggle nests" in their room

Nature camp boys - Cooper, Evan, Cole and Emmet
Giant bubbles from nature camp... Cole is wearing his eye patch. We went for a follow up at CMH and his vision appears to be declining a bit, so we are experimenting with some patching (3 hours per day) to determine if that will help his vision all, despite the cataract. He was not happy about it at first, but he's been doing a great job with it and rarely complains anymore. He has gotten used to it and is very compliant. We set up a rewards system and he gets a small prize each week for patching if he does his 3 hours everyday. It will get a bit trickier once school starts... hope we can squeeze it in between school and all the activities. We will go back to CMH in October to check on next steps.
After party after Craig's "5 year anniversary of his office" party at our house. Wish I had taken some pictures at our house of the party! (Tyler, Shawna, Craig, me, Chris and Jess)
Next day was my birthday and the boys surprised me with these sweet art projects. We went to Nordstrom Café for lunch and the pool that evening.
One of the caterpillars from nature camp turned into a chrysalis, but unfortunately, it never turned into a butterfly.
