4th of July

i know we have been MIA, but we've been busy! we went to salem for the 4th and floated the good ol' current river with my family and friends, i finally took my boards, and we went to germany for a week (with a quick little trip to jesup on either end). i am finally working at my big girl dermatology job 3 1/2 days a week, cope and daddy are back into the swing at work, and my belly is growing. we are having another boy (whew.. i have a mortal fear of hair bows)... and cope has had a great summer visiting with his family! fortunately, it was beautiful weather in missouri.

cope loved auntie carol's mulberry tree!

so anyway, cope had a ball with his cousins and his grandma and auntie carol. he didn't care much for the fireworks.. maybe next year?? all my pal really needs is a pile of dirt and a container of water and he is in hog heaven!
