A little bloggy break...

Hi friends & family!

This inevitably comes at some point every year...living our life gets too busy to record our life! I try to avoid blog breaks, as I don't want to miss recording or sharing a moment of our precious days, but the time has come. See you in a week or two when we can get caught up! We'll be "back" soon!

Love,

The McMurray Family

Summer foods!

From our late summer kitchen...

Yummmm!

Corn on the cob and watermelon, our summertime favorites!

More Sunday afternoon sweetness.

The muffins love this special time with Daddy each week where he reviews their catchecisms and memory verses for the week. They get all serious about sitting in their special spot and "showing off" to Daddy what they've learned. Sweetness!!

"Babies!"

We have LOTS of friends with LOTS of babies. Our little ones adore babies and often want to "practice" holding babies like their friends get to do with their little brothers and sisters. It's too cute.

"We want a tummy baby too, Mama!" LOL!

The accompanying song... "Babies, babies!!"

Kids are so funny!

My faves...

World's best family!!!

Summertime fun at the park!

The hunter/gatherer...

Very proud of his stick pile!

EwooeeeezLilikin

Translation:

Eloise Wilkin Treasury = her favorite book!

"More peez, EwooeeeezLilikin?!"

Who could resist this guy?!

My lil' lovey.

The castle!

Our Mimi sent this for Natalie's second birthday and the kids love it!

It's very much fun to pile all their stuffed animals into and play!

"Just because," he said...

"I love you so much."

Simultaneous readers = serious skillz

I'm not sure how it works. They "read" out loud to each other at the same time. Hmm.

Too cute, these two.

And then there's the reading and playing music at the same time, but that's another day.

;)

Confusion.

Something is not right here.

Natalie says in a deep voice: "IMA BIG BOY" while she clomps around in Daddy's shoes...lol.

Family date night = free fun for everyone!

Errands & family date nights are the best!
(Not sure what happened to the other half of these pictures...)

Who needs amusement parks when you've got Lowe's nearby?!

On to our restaurant outing...
Mmmmm...cuteness & sweetness all around!
