Sweet and Sour

I added music to the blog, so turn up your speakers :)

The Sweet:
Our baby boy is 9 months old! I can't believe that 18 months ago I found out I was pregnant again. I remember that day like it was yesterday. After seeing the 2 pink lines on the stick, I scooped up Isla, who was playing in the living room, and danced around with happiness. The song that was playing was none other than "Love Story" by Taylor Swift. That song means so much to me and brings back so many happy memories. And I melt when Isla sings it. :) I carried around our precious baby boy in my tummy for 9 months and now he's been in the world for 9 months. And in his 9 months he has made the world smile more, laugh more, and love more. He completes our family and we are happier than we ever thought possible with our girl and boy. Here's our 9 month little man:

The Sour
We made homemade lemonade! I was thinking back to my most fondest summertime memories and the lemonade stand my dad made for me flashed before me. Isla couldn't wait to set one up herself. We set aside a Saturday morning and squeezed 12 lemons, made a simple syrup, stirred it all together with ice cold water and posted up in our driveway. Each glass was 50 cents and they went fast. Coach, Gigi, Uncle B, Heather, a few neighbors and some bicyclists were our customers and Isla made ten dollars and 50 cents when the morning was through. How fun it was watching her scoop the ice, fill up the cup, and hand it over to the thirsty mouths. She sat waiting for their reaction and of course everyone said, "Mmmmm! Ahhhh!" Her piggy bank was happy with the deposit and she already wants to do it again. Another summer memory for my sweet Isla.

And Leo clapped the whole time......his new favorite thing to do. He enjoyed some bubbles too.
