Summer is upon us!

YAY! It's summer! We celebrated by taking a trip to Florida to visit friends as well as lots of time outside and moving to a new apartment!

Anna turned 10 months old today, and she is sprouting her first tooth. She is up on all fours, trying to crawl and she is so close! She is really laid back and loves to roll around on the floor and play with her toys. She was a great traveler and charmed all whom we met. Alexander is spending his summer busily finding something worthy of a PhD. I am working on delicious food, reading, and sewing projects galore. I also started my first painting project--an accent wall in our new apartment. Here are some pictures to prove that we're having a blast!

Plans for the rest of the summer include: finishing moving to our new place, visit to St. Louis for the Visa gymnastics competition to support Alexander's cousin, lots of playing at the park at our new place, perhaps a trip to UT in August, and mostly staying home and enjoying our own little family. If you're headed this way, we'd love to see you, though! Champaign is an excellent stop for lunch on a cross-country road trip.
