Various Photos of July

We've been very busy setting up our new house. We are almost all unpacked. Only a few things left in the dining room, which we will take care of this weekend. We are so happy to have room, have a nice yard for the kids and Sampson, and have a great neighborhood. We've met several of our new neighbors and everyone is so nice! This is truly a dream come true for us!

On a sadder note, our air conditioner went out. It's been okay the last few days but it is supposed to get back into the 90s this weekend. Hopefully we can get it fixed soon! Sleeping in the heat is no fun!

Lily looked cute in her pigtails so I wanted to take their picture. She cracks us up with her hands jestures. She's very animated! It's hard to get a good one with both kids smiling.

Baby girl!! She's such a good baby! We are so blessed!!!!

A few Sundays ago we ate breakfast outside on our deck. Anson made his yummy blueberry pancakes and bacon. He makes breakfast almost every Sunday! It's becoming a tradition :)

Lily running through the sprinkler (it's hard to see). Dillon didn't really like the sprinkler.

Dillon played in the pool instead.

Lacy loves to suck her thumb :)

We put Lacy in the entertainment center bouncy seat last week for the first time - she loves it!

Before carrots

After carrots!

At Nana and Papa's for a picnic and swimming. Dillon wanted to eat his corn on the cob!

Swimming!

Lily and Dillon wear their life jackets. It gives them freedom to swim freely. They do good with them on. All that swimming wore baby girl out! She fell asleep sucking her thumb in the shade!

All the toys in the playroom - Can you see the kids amongst the mess? We've cleaned it up since this photo was taken. We bought some storage cubes to help contain the mess, and moved some toys to the basement play area.

New pool for the kids. It has a slide and a waterfall. They love it!

A few videos of kids - Lacy laughing and Dillon babbling (couldn't get him to say much)

Lacy's Half Birthday...and Moving In Over July 4th weekend!

The youngest Cross turned 6 months old yesterday! Lacy Lyn is such a good baby! She is truly amazing to watch. She can grab things and she studies them. You can just tell her little brain soaking it all up! She sits up really well in her Bumbo chair. She can sit up by herself for a few seconds too.

We’ve started giving her peas, carrots, bananas, sweet potatoes and pears. She spit them out a lot at first and really would keep her lips and mouth shut tight. But, lately she’s been opening up and eating the whole jar :)

She sleeps really well too. She’ll go to sleep between 9-9:30 and sleeps all night until we wake her up in the morning.

Her well baby appointment is next Monday at our new pediatrician in Uniontown.

Funny thing Lily said to me this morning: “Mommy, I’ll keep track of Pickle today.” I’m going to have to ask Nana about that one!

Funny things that Dillon says and does:
Sissy / Lily = Iggy
Lacy = baby or acy
Sampson = ruff
Yesterday he put a teddy bear in the toilet! Luckily it was a clean bowl.

She loves that little baby doll. First pictures in the new house! This was Friday evening around 5 on July 1.

Showing Lily and Dillon their new swing set and play house!

Aunt Jill came over Friday to help us clean! Walking in to show the kids the house.

Looking around

Looking around the basement

Lily and Dillon love to run around the basement!

Dining room - where all our junk goes!

Living room

Kitchen

Kitchen again

Anson fell asleep like this! No joke. He was so tired. This was Sunday afternoon. We had a bunch of our friends and family help us, but it took 2 days and we were exhausted!

Nana feeding Baby girl and playing with the kiddos.

Papa - he looks tired too. This move wore everybody out. Look at our new table. Anson found it on Craigslist for a great price. It's Amish made. Very heavy duty.

Sampson was pooped too! He likes his new room. No more cage for our puppy!

Lily playing in the kitchen room (as she calls it). It is funny how every other room ends with the word "room" except the kitchen. She added it :)

4th of July - all dressed in red, white and blue! Pickle's shirt says "Little Fire Cracker." He sure is!

So sweet!

Playing in their little pool! Lacy's first time swimming.

That's all for now. I have many more photos to post. I'll try to get them up here this week. We are almost completely done unpacking. Once we are done, we'll take photos of the house and I'll post them.

Happy Birthday Mom C - Today!!

Happy Birthday Dad C - Friday!!
