The month of July feels like it ended before it began... With school going so late and our beach trip at the start of August, I feel like July came and went in a blink and before we know it, we'll have one girl in 1st grade and the other starting preschool!!!
Other than our fun trip to NC at the beginning of the month, there weren't any major adventures in July, but still lots and lots of fun times. I've included a ton of pics and will keep the words brief!
Setting up the neighbor's pool right outside our place-
the girls LOVED it!
Oh, these two... such cuties!
So excited to have Nana & Pop-Pop back from their long trip to France!
Date night celebration of another step completed in our adoption journey (with much more to go...) and a promotion for Steve!
Girls breakfast date across the street while daddy was on a work trip-
discovering a love of breakfast pizza!
BGR dinner with Nana & Pop-Pop before daddy's return
Party games celebrating Xavi's birthday!
Including the hilarious pie-in-the-face game that kept smacking Maelee in the forehead with whipped cream!
She took it in giggling stride :)
Happy Birthday, sweet neighbor!
Big milestone for both of our ladies the 2nd week of July-
full day "fun" camp for Maelee and half day camp for Lilee at her new preschool!
Successful first day celebrated over frozen yogurt.
Pizza, ice cream, & movie night at our place
with several friends from K!

Zootopia dance party to end the evening
Last day of camp- Lilee proudly sporting her camp shirt.
She LOVED being like her big sis for the week!
Getting ready to show what she learned!
The theme for the week was "Reduce, reuse, recycle"
so she was up there crumpling paper for their song.
Lilee's "paper" artwork!
Breakfast with Nana & Pop-Pop while Steve and I got to take a sweet overnight trip up to MA to celebrate my dear Sarah before her wedding!
Maelee's impressive solar system picture that she worked hard on while we were away!
So sad to have not been able to see her say "I do" but SO happy to get to be there for her joint bacelorette/bachelor party!
Beautiful evening at an awesome location with one of my dearest friends and my hubby at my side. Couldn't ask for a better date night!
Savoring every moment with this friend with breakfast the next morning before driving back home.
And the long drive up and down provided for lots of great conversation for Steve and me!
Grateful for every aspect of that trip.
Special "brupper" dinner of pancakes
with whipped cream & chocolate syrup!
Fun at a water mister at Home Depot...
It's the little things.
Another highlight of the month was seeing another one of my dearest!
My sweet Cindy and her fun kiddos :)
Taking in some fun in Shirlington!
Double date with my awesome folks to see the Nats!
It was unbearably hot but we were able to move up
under the shade eventually.
We didn't win but had a great time!
We were so grateful for our friend, Lisa, for hanging out with our girls the entire day!!!
Yeah, they had fun :)
More water fun with ice cream and neighbors!
Hanging out with some firemen outside the Silver Diner!
Hanging out with Nana at the nearby playground!
Pool time lounging :)
Enjoying the VBS down the street from us!
Out for breakfast pizza with daddy this time!
Oh, how I love those smiles!
And that's a wrap for July! We got back from our OBX trip last Sunday and what an amazing time we had. Loads of pictures to come!
