summer's ending/Coco's 5th

Put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; . . . but above all these things put on love. —Colossians 3:12,14

Chloe turned 5! So hard to believe, I was sitting in the hospital for four days waiting for her to make her entrance, come to find out her little hand was blocking her way, once God removed it, she finally came. My sweet blondie curly haired baby. 

We had a simple pizza, making, swim, princess party. If you know Chloe she lives for a good party, she plans hers all year round. 

We then packed up the truck and made our way to Carpinteria for a three day camping trip right on the beach. OHHH completely magical. We met our dear friends there. More like family actually then friends.

 Time to say goodbye, not without some major tears though! So Sadie and Chloe got their way and stayed another couple days!

 Summer time has been good to us. We stayed close to home, mostly.

 Lots of cooking
