The Summer Fun Continues. .

The summer of 2007 will go down in Smith history as one of the most fun. We have traveled a lot (which I love), and we've had a lot of at-home fun, too. Last summer we were moving AND I was in the yucky stage of pregancy (which was doubly miserable for various reasons), so this summer is WAY better than last year. But in many ways, this has just been an awesome summer of wonderful times with friends and family. . and we still have a few weeks to soak it up! Here are the last few weeks in snapshots:

Madison and Hannah (squinting in the sun) the day Madison and I went to Waxahachie for lunch and shopping at the Dove's Nest with Hannah and Jennifer.

Princess Hope has spent much of her summer in the stroller or carseat. I think she looks a bit smushed, don't you? This is in Waxachie, too.

A self-portrait of Madison and Maison. Madison took her camera to church one morning (unbeknownst to me) and enjoyed taking LOTS of pictures! :)

Visiting with Grandmama (or GREATmama). She loves holding her name-sake, Marcy Hope

We are grateful for our friendship with the Matte's

We went on 2 great hikes during our Hill Country adventures. Stephen and the big kids found this stream and just waded right on in . .

Yes, we went to Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels. We went with my parents and sister and brother-in-law and had such a wonderful day. This is at lunch.

Look how cute baby Hope is in her teeny tiny bathing suit!

Jackson was so proud to be able to do waterslides on his own!

The wacky Smith's

More pics to come another day. . .maybe a deep thought, too. . .
