Selfies with Kiera

Kiera and I were cuddling on Aunt Jenny’s hammock when she grabbed my iPhone and said, “Let’s take some pictures of us Mama!” This is very uncharacteristic of her, so I jumped at the chance to get some pics of the two of us…

Grandpa’s Birthday

My sister Jenny and her husband Kevin hosted a wonderful family get-together/ surprise early birthday party for Grandpa. With our far-flung family, these get-togethers don’t happen very often, so it was really special.

The girls with Gertie and Barley (Madeline and Audrey’s dog). Side note- Kiera’s face (lol)!

luckily the fake mustaches cheered her up..

Aunt Jenny and Uncle Kev know how to host- lobster and steak for everybody!

Unfortunately we found out later that Kiera fed Gertie her weight in steak (she got sick). But it was because she loves her so much… Oh well, lesson learned.
