4th of July weekend!

Now that I'm working one day each weekend, a three day weekend is an extra special treat! We started the holiday weekend with a picnic on Thursday night, and by the time I went to work on Sunday I felt like we'd still had a full weekend of family time. It was lovely! We met up with three other families for a little picnic in Wells Park, and it was fun to introduce all of the husbands. I found this group of ladies through meetup.com, and we've gotten together occasionally since our babies were just a few weeks old. It's nice to have other new parent friends that live right in the neighborhood!

There were actually four families at our little picnic, but I forgot about my
camera until two couples had already left. Oops!
Joe and Brian look like naturals with their little ones, huh?

Elise and Noah were beyond cute together!

We spent the afternoon on the 4th of July at our friends' Adam and Kristen's place. They had a great backyard, and we enjoyed relaxing in the beautiful wether and getting to know some of their friends. Adam and Kristen are expecting a baby in November, so they'll be joining us on this crazy parenting journey soon enough!

Little kids in swimsuits are irresistible, right?!

Though this is how she really felt!

She did actually get in the pool... for about 2 seconds.
Turns out it was still pretty chilly!

Not the best picture, but I had to commemorate our accidental red, white, and blue outfits!

These two are my favorites!

Overall, a great holiday weekend! We spent too long on Saturday looking at cars that we didn't actually want to buy, but it was still nice to have so much time to just hang out without mom or dad working :) Now we'll starting counting down to our first real vacation... we're headed to California next month!
