It’s past the middle of summer and I sort of want to cry about it. Okay, maybe not technically, but in my mind, summer is June, July, August…which means today, July 17th is past the halfway mark.
But don’t worry, we’re not wasting a single second of these wonderfully sunshine packed days. Lately we’ve been…
wearing swimsuits and hats
eating (cake) outside
to a baseball game
spending time at the fountains
running outside
working on our deck (I’ve probably only helped with four-percent of it)
blowing through our stash of sidewalk chalk
wearing diaper covers as shorts (okay, just A…not me…you’re welcome.)
basically living in the blow-up swimming pool in the backyard
…and there’s a WHOLE month and a half left. Hallelujah.


Gaaah I can’t get over her. And I don’t want to be reminded that summer is half over – that means I go back to schoooooool.
I can’t get enough of your adorable family.
It’s crazy how fast the summer goes, I only have one month left before I go into work to start setting up my classroom for the school year!
Baby A is just so precious–love the pictures!
Love it! And you know what….I am starting to embrace this whole summer thing. GASP! But it has been relatively cooler than last year and we got 5 inches of rain last week (praise the Lord) so it has been okay. Shorts and flip flops are making it a tad easier too.
love these! love her cute, little bathing suit!
I’m totally coming overrrrrrr!!! Chris was at the game the same night you were when you instagrammed that photo!! I was babysitting my niece!
dying over the cuteness over here..looks like your having a wonderful summer so far!
That picture of her looking up at you while you’re cutting the cake? UH KILL ME.
She is SO adorable! And yes – you guys have been living it up this summer!! Good for you:) I never want summer to end!!!
That first picture! love!
i can’t get over how cute little A is! i’m not even CLOSE to being ready for summer to be over… i probably never will be. summer truly is the best!
Well, with the way this summer is going, it might FEEL like summertime well into the fall! I don’t want to jinx it or anything, though. I love A’s patriotic swimsuit. She’s so fashion forward.
I agree, summer goes by way too fast. Mine’s more than halfway over.
Absolutely love the pics of your baby. The one with the chalk is precious!
Half over? Yikes…and it’s half as long here in Calgary so that means it’s REALLY almost over!
…better keep enjoying it while it lasts, like you! Love the photos – and you really are gorgeous, Katie. I want to hang out with you in person and talk about life over coffee (amid baby coos and with or without the Caribbean backdrop).
How freaking adorbs!!!
I never understood how summer can go by so fast but winter drags on and on and on and on……and on.
um, i kind of started crying at the pictures of A and you – so stinking sweet
OH, how I just LOVE this! And I want a grown-up version of that anchor bathing suit.
I felt the same way last weekend! Also, my niece Aurelia has that same sailor swimsuit–both girls look completely adorable in it. Here’s to the rest of the summer!
These pics kill me!! I love it!
It’s cloudy and cold here today and it hit me that I’m going to have to trade in my skirts and dresses for pants again soon at work. And all my fave fruits and veggies won’t be around anymore!! Wahhh.
But it’s supposed to reach 100 here on Saturday, so I’m sure I’ll be singin a different tune then
Baby A’s outfits & bathing suits are too cute!
Oh my goodness, A just melts my heart in this post. And so do you. I just want to come and give you a big hug!
I was just crying over the same thing the other day when I realized summer was flying by. Can’t we just make summer last through the fall and then make winter be fall??
Love you to pieces friend!!
Love your contagious enthusiasm. Now that I am a working adult, I still wonder every June where my summer break is. *sigh*
So many nice hair days you’ve had! And hats?! That’s a route I haven’t even gone yet. That shall be remedied asap.
I’m pretty sure A just be a baby model and be done with it
you know you can always move it, its summer 9 months out of the year. And i can’t get over the precious photos. Love it!
Oh my goodness these pictures are so sweet. The one with her looking up at you when you are cutting the cake….you can feel the love! How can anyone not love a Colorado summer? It is such a shame it doesn’t last longer.
Really, I think I have to steal her. And I am SO NOT a ‘gaga over babies’ kinda gal. There’s just something about that Baby A!!
Remember- summer goes until after mid September- there’s still LOTS of time!!
