Tip-Toeing In...

to say hi. The Hodge Podge Household has been uber busy, so even if I wasn't taking a break from blogging, I honestly don't think I would have had the time to update it anyways. I have some updates, but unfortunately, no pictures today. I want to say Happy Birthday to my Mom!! Her birthday was on July 4th and we had a great party for her and had such a fabulous time visiting with family we don't have the chance to see very often. Also, Happy Birthday to my brother!! He was able to be in town for Mom's birthday so we got to celebrate his birthday with him as well, which doesn't happen very often. So, it was a really special 4th of July for our family. I also want to say a huge CONGRATULATIONS to my friend L at Pack of Ramseys and her husband, on the birth of their sweet baby boy!!

Like I said, we have just been super busy. The rest of July should be fairly low key. We have a small house project we are going to begin working on next weekend, but other than that, no more big shindigs for a while. I've got some new projects on the horizon (refinishing furniture, misc. sewing projects, Daughter's Birthday party and her big girl room), but nothing immediately pressing. Hubby and I are looking forward to enjoying what is left of the summer before fall begins (i.e., football games, church activities, holidays, etc.). Our girl is doing good, growing like a weed! She is such a sweet girl and she has really started to calm down lately. And she's definitely more cuddly, which I am enjoying! Raising a toddler is a funny thing...in those moments when they are being a 'terrible two' and you just want to throw your hands up and surrender, they look at you and say or do something so absolutely hilarious that you just have to laugh.

I hope this finds everyone well and enjoying their summer!
