Rebekah's Half-Year Portrait


I know I am behind posting her latest portrait, but such is life these days. This shot was taken in July when she was technically still 6 months but only a few days shy of 7 months. She will be 9 months on Sept. 12th and I will have to get an updated shot taken at that point. But, better late than never is my new motto, even though I hate being late about anything. In this portrait, Rebekah is wearing the dress Susanna wore for her 6 month portrait. It is also the same dress in which Susanna was dedicated. It is so amazing to see their portraits side by side at home and see how different they are from each other. Both beautiful but with strikingly different features.
Right now, Rebekah is crawling and pulling up with ease. Actually, we are going to have to shop for a baby gate this weekend for our staircase. She has stood alone two times but has quickly sat down once she realized she didn't have a hold of anything. Part of me is anxious to see if she walks early and the other part dreads for that day to come!

Family - Summer Visit 1

During this Summer, we were very fortunate to have various family members visit us in Colorado. The month of July included visits from Grammy Elaine and Grandpa Harry (Jon's Mom and Step Dad), as well as, Pops and Mia (Monica's Mom and Dad).

The following slide show is from Grammy Elaine and Grandpa Harry's visit. We did a lot of exciting things from a July 4th Celebration and Fireworks to a Sky Sox Baseball Game to Wesley's Baseball Game, the Zoo, and we capped it off with camping in Estes Park.
We hope you enjoy the show!!!
