Summer Fun

This summer in Buffalo has been soooo much hotter than last summer was, so we have been loving it!! Well, it's been an adjustment getting used to not having air conditioning in our apartment, but THANKFULLY one of our friends from church gave us a window unit for our bedroom, which cools Reese's room also. We wouldn't have made it without that at night. We have been trying to take advantage of all this glorious warm weather before the ground is once again covered with snow for several months! We have been taking many walks in our neighborhood just about every weekend, trips to the zoo, and trips to the park.

Wes did the 5K run with the group from Restoration Church like he did last year, and Reese and I went to cheer them on.

Here are some random pictures I've taken over the last few weeks while hanging out at home.

Don't these eyes just kill you?!

Reese and her daddy having a moment:

And Reese and Boston having a moment! It's a showdown for the ball!

She LOVES jumping and playing in her jumparoo.

At the beginning of August Wes got to lead worship at Kingdom Bound, which is a huge Christian music festival that happens every year in Buffalo. They did a great job of course!

The sweetest thing in the world is how Reese watches Wes when he plays and sings.

She kept doing this (getting really happy and excited) while she was watching him sing. So cute!!

On one of the many gorgeous days we've had recently we took a little family trip to the zoo. This was not the first time Reese has been to the zoo, but it was the first time she actually seemed to be looking at some of the animals!

But sometimes she would just rather look at her daddy.

Here's me and my little love bug:

And me and my other love bug :)

Wes and I have started a babysitting swap thing with Dan and Gina (the pastor of Restoration), and we are trying to do every Friday night where we either go on a date while they keep Reese or they go on a date while we keep their boys. Sam and Nick are 11 year old twins, and they love Reese a lot. She is starting to love them too I think.

She is in mid-spit in the picture above. She's started doing that and it is so funny! She is growing so fast of course, but she is so much fun and it's just getting better. We are super excited to go on our annual family beach vacation next week! We hope and pray Reese loves the beach as much as we do!!
