Avery + Rylee

The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays of the year, I love America and I love my handsome, hunk of a soldier hubby! It just so happens that our girls turn 8 months on Daddy's birthday today! Even though he's deployed half way across the world right now, we're celebrating him today! Thank you for serving, protecting, loving your family, and sacrificing so much. I took the twins to our family's property to take their 8 month photos, it's such beautiful land and holds so much meaning to us. Only thing that could make this day better is having Daddy home with us, but we're counting down the days until he's home again!

So without further ado... HAPPY 25TH BIRTHDAY MATTHEW! You're the best hubby and the best daddy to our sweet girls, we LOVE you so much and miss you everyday!

And...

Happy 8 Months to our sweet Avery and Rylee! You bring so much joy and purpose to our lives, and we just can't imagine doing life without you two munchkins! Those big, beautiful, crystal blue eyes steal our hearts.

Here are just a few things these girls are up to lately:

Squealing and making really loud noises | Rolling over | Sitting up | Eating baby food | Trying to figure out how that thing called crawling works… | Becoming really talkative | Playing together | Smiling and Laughing | Stealing each other's bows out of their hair | Wearing hats and loving it | Checking out progress on the new house | Missing Daddy
