Isabelle's first time in the pool

Isabelle finally got to try the water at the pool on one of the last few days the pool was open. 

Daddy/daughter kayaking adventure. It really is cute how they both enjoy kayaking together. 

"Dad, maybe I can ride in the kayak next year?"

Harper's Ferry

They found some rocks for the sand box.

Pat and I LOVE Harper's Ferry. We only got a chance to go to Harpers Ferry once this summer and I'm so glad we have the pictures to capture the memories we had there.

I couldn't have done it without the help of my niece, Catherine. Thanks Cat!

G-Bob showed Sophia how much fun it is to play in the dirt with her animals. 

Love you baby sister!

G-Bob came up to watch Sophia while we took Isabelle for her 4 month check-up. Thanks G-Bob!

Our sixth wedding anniversary

For our sixth wedding anniversary we went to our favorite restaurant for lunch- Ayse Meze. My wonderful mom came over at the girl's nap time to watch them while Pat and I got to go out and celebrate our anniversary. It was the first time Pat and I went on a date by ourselves since Isabelle was born. It was so amazing to go out to lunch and walk around downtown with just the two of us. 

After the girls got up from their nap we finished celebrating by going on a "Patrick adventure". We went to Monocacy battlefield park and walked along the path and walked down to the creek. Pat and Sophia splashed around in the water and threw rocks into the creek. I loved how there was a wooded trail that we could easily walk on. The park was well taken care of and very clean. We even walked up to this amazing house that was built in 1872. It's called the Gambrill house
