*Month 21*
The days are long but the years are short... Especially these summer days and these toddler years. It seems as though she's changing every second! We've had such fun this summer just doing whatever we wanted. Juliet has started gymnastics and we go once every week. Since she was a late walker, we thought it would encourage movement like jumping, running,...
Frozen Key Lime Pie
5:44 PM
This is the best pie to make during the summer. I made it this weekend for Joey's dad that came down from PA and even though it's terrible unhealthy it was such a great, cold treat after working all day in the hot sun.

Our kitchen is yet again at a stand-still, so I was very antsy to start on something else and focus my attention there... instead of over there. That brings me to our outside patio. Here's a before picture from when we moved in and as you can see it needed de-wind-chimed, decluttered, repainted, pressure washed,...
