Fit to the Beats: What We've Been Up To

I love July. I really do. Not that you need my re-affirmation, but I just am so in love with it. It marks the middle of the year when it is hazy, dead, and slow, which means a time for relaxation and winding down into a deep, hot slumber. Despite all these things, though, we've been pretty busy this month and during summer in general. I love to share pics of friends, family, and things that have been going on in our neck of the woods and I'm trying to do more sharing on here rather than Facebook because I don't want the world to see personal rendezous of mine or my family's. It's just something I've been feeling lately.

My roomate from college Kimberly, and her husband Jeremy, came to visit last week. Here are a few shots.

Playing Tennis.

Me, Jeremy, and Kimberly at Dunkin' Donuts after church.

The four of us at Kimberly's cousin's house.

Me and Kimberly in her cousins' GORGEOUS living room.

Meshell Davis, a friend of Carrie's whom she introduced Anna and I to years ago got married last Thursday, July 15th, at La Grange Winery (in Haymarket). It was marked what seemed like one of the hottest days of the year to date, smack-dab in the middle of summer. What better way to celebrate the glorious occasion but with friends and a Sangria in hand?

"I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Stuart."

She made them stop and pose...I knew she would!

Isaac and Phil - goofball city.

Me n' JP

Isaiah and Caleb (Meshell and Thomas's sons respectively). Aren't they adorable?

Carrie and P.

All of us.

Had to throw a pic in there of Fifi...Anna and Big's new kitty. The 6 of us kids all went to their house later that night to eat pizza and watch Shutter Island.

I titled this next group of pics "Fun with Gramie" ... because that's exactly waht it was. Brunch followed by a swim at the pool with my sisters, niece, and cousin Macy turned out to be a fabulous mix. Although we didn't get much sun because it's an indoor pool, relaxing with the noodles were just what the doctor ordered(followed by several splashes in the face by the tween scheemers) for this Sunday afternoon. We don't get to see Gramie nearly as often as we all would like...
