July - Part 2

Our niece, Suzanna Kate Nichols, turned 4 this month!  Suzie is one of the sweetest little people on the planet, and she loves to celebrate birthdays with her family.  It was fun for her to be able to celebrate her very own birthday on this day!  Remember how loooong the year seemed to stretch when you were a kid?  I smiled as I realized that Suzanna probably felt like she was waiting forever for this day to come.  :-) 



One night we decided to pull out all of the Thomas the Tank stuff that Evan had accumulated, and get it ready for Craigslist.  After setting most of it up, we were all having so much fun that we decided to keep it.  When we move, we'll set it up in the basement and entertain lil' visitors by taking them straight to the Island of Sodor.  :-)



We attended a bridal shower for our good friend, Jennifer Bailey.  I babysat Jenn when she was tiny.  I was sixteen, and her mom had to have surgery right after she was born.  We bonded big time.  :-)  She was my miniature bride, and Allison will be her flower girl later this month!
