Just a typical Thursday evening...

GG

Baby 

Quinn's first birthday

Garden

Jungle 

Yellow summer squash 

Hot Hungarian peppers (GG just eats them right off the plant.)

Heirloom toms (sorry Becky, I have no idea what kind! Thanks for the seeds though!)

Cherry toms ($1 plant at Bordines in May)

Big fat mama 

What I'm craving at 35 weeks

All from dad's garden. He had to tell me to stop eating so many refrigerator pickles because he was worried I would get heartburn. I told him I always have heartburn and I kept eating them. 

Morning downtown

More ice skating lessons

Fish eye lens

Fish eye lens + 34 weeks pregnant = Mary's as big as a house 

Other July happenings

Kid's movie with a friend. We saw the Lego Movie (someone tell the Curl kids!)

Kids' concert by the city band with a grandma and grandpa Christensen 

Grey "conducting" the band (while facing the audience)

Another haircut

An afternoon with the Kraffts (complete with a jet ski ride!)

And catching fish 

Ice skating lessons started in July! 

Getting basic instructions (Grey is all the way on the right)

Help from a teacher

But really this is all he does during the hour class

Apple break

Another visit from grandma and grandpa means jam!

Beautiful 

July also had a big MacDonald family reunion here in Alpena, but that will have to be another post! 

July 12 and 13

Bye Curls! We will miss you! What a great visit- we were so lucky everyone came to our home town :) 

Quick stop from the Kennedy's 

Bye Kennedy's and Coopers! We will miss you! While it was amazing to have everyone here at varying times, it was so special to have Violet and Auntie Erica for such a long visit. I'm happy that I still have summers off so I could enjoy lots of quality time with them. We miss living close to you!
