| Sisters! |
I'm sure you understand why we are FINALLY just catching up on July, since welcoming sweet baby Ruby Rio Bryant on July 8th. She has been a great addition to our family and big sister Lucy is so proud of her and so gentle! She loves tucking her in when she's asleep, saying, "hey, Ruby...watch this!" and making up new nicknames for her, like Miss Ruby Roo and simply "Roobs." It's been a challenge having a newborn and a 4-year old in the house...mostly finding ways to keep Lucy entertained and engaged with Jason and I as we navigate the neediness of a tiny baby. Ruby is overall a pretty easy baby.

It has also reminded of us how many special moments we missed out on with Lucy when she was first born, since she was in the NICU, often sedated and with so many tubes in her! So thankful for the progress that she continues to make and the opportunity for her love for others to shine through as a big sister!

| Teaching Ruby how to play |
We've been enjoying the summer on Lucy's new swingset, swimming in the neighbor's pool and enjoying our non-scheduled days and weekends. Lucy attended 2 weeks of "Preschool Adventure Camp," which was taught by her preschool teacher from last year, so that was super fun for her!

| No shirt...playing in the back year (she took a nose dive into the wading pool, so decided to take her shirt off instead of stay wet or go in and interrupt play time to get something dry!!) |
Stay Cool and Enjoy the pictures!
