Week 27

       Hi Friends!  For those who follow each week, there is not an "official chalkboard belly picture" this week, because my chalkboard suffered an untimely death on our basement floor.  No worries though.  We have a new chalkboard and I will be back to updating for week 28.  Luckily, we had a lot going on last week so there is plenty to write about.

       Our good friends, Ryan and Melissa made the LOOOONNNGG drive from Morrisville, NC all the way to Hampton, NJ to visit us for a few days.  We spent 5 fun days with them and their sweet 4-year olds (our goddaughters) Livi and Eleana.  Leaving them behind in NC was one of the hardest parts of our move last year.  But, I love how we can pick up right where we've left off anytime we get the chance to get together.  Take a look at some of the fun things we did while they were here! 

Pool time at my parents' pool---Livi was FEARLESS and jumped right in without swimmies as soon as we got there.  Lifeguard Lulu had to make an emergency rescue!

"Snacks by the Pool"--Look at those beautiful eyes!

"4th of July Party" with our fun neighbors

We did lots of relaxing and hanging out enjoying the sunshine!


"Daddy's Girls"


Beautiful Family Shot...Celebrating the 4th of July before fireworks!

Roasting S'mores in the Backyard....Livi kept saying, "I want more SHMARSHmallows!

They loved this...so fun (and messy)!

Mmmmmm....

It was such a great visit, and we can't wait to plan the next one!  We love you Beene Family!

You guys are so wonderful to us! Thank you for all you do for the girls. We love you. Livi Phelps decided to try dip trick number two. This time we weren't as close. Ibrahima came to Livi's rescue, though.
