At the end of a very busy June we are starting to slow down and looking forward to the upcoming summer months. I (Sara) am as excited as I have been ever been to have this summer off! I look forward to spending it with my very active, intentional, inquisitive 2 year old!
We kick started the summer last weekend by taking our first "family" trip to NYC. Although we didn't make it back to the spot of our engagement, we made some new memories with Haley and her Aunt Leanne and "Uncle" Mark. They were gracious enough to put us up for 2 nights, and although I believe they thought we were kidding when we said Haley is up by 6 am no matter what times she goes to bed, they were excellent hosts. Here are a few photos of recent "summer activities" and out trip to the Big Apple.

| FAO seemed like a good idea, but "mine" was Haley's favorite word, the baby aisle was a little much! |
 |
| Of course we couldn't get out without buying Haley her new FAO bear "Apple" |

| Shopping in the Big Apple is exhausting! Don't we all wish we could just lay down and nap sometimes? |
