A New Cousin

My cousin Megan and I were about 6 weeks apart in our due dates, and she just had her daughter, Makenna, about 1 1/2 weeks ago. It's amazing to see how big B. is compared to Makenna already! It'll be fun to see them grow up so close in age.

2nd cousins--B. (7 weeks) and Makenna (1 week)

6 Weeks

B. is now 6 weeks old already. She weighs 10 lbs. 3 oz. and is 21 1/2 inches long. She is growing like a weed and filling out all over!! She is doing well and we are starting to get a little more sleep. She actually slept last night from 11pm until 5:20am....woo hoo!! We're hoping that this continues to be a trend....keep your fingers crossed!

An angel while sleeping

Not always an angel when awake. Really though,
she is a great baby and doesn't cry or fuss without a good reason.

For the 4th of July, Tom, I and B. along with my parents all went to the July 3rd Taste of Chicago and stayed for the fireworks that night. We met up with Tom's family there like we do every year. From there, we headed down to Tom's parents' house and stayed until July 5th. Below are some pictures from that time.

We were absolutely freezing while watching the fireworks!!!

The whole family--both sides

Tom's Side of the Family

Tom is done with his summer session of classes and now is officially a 3rd year student in the program. Right now, we are enjoying Tom's 4 week vacation from school! It's so great that Tom can be home during this time in B's life. For the fall, Tom has 2 clinicals in a row from August to October and then October to December. We have less than a year left to go. So amazing!! If you think of it, you can pray for us as we begin to pray about where the Lord would have us to go after Tom is through with school.
