August times

Vera went with Mommy on a little outing to Tavaputs Ranch with Aunt Jana and Aunt Tori

Freshly bathed baby hair  *swoon*

August means trip to the cemetary to remember Vittora. We got on Aug 16th, which is the day she passed away and a week later on her birthday.  This is her 15th bday, 7th year since her passing.  We miss her so much. 

We also welcomed to Earth, Luke's sister Courtney's, newest baby girl.  Stacey JUNE Hinckley who was born August 17th.  Her and Vera will surely be good buddies.. eventually

Vera, 1 month old, still weighed less than June at birth

August also brought more times for snuggles

Excursions with Jason and Joy's family for craw-dad fishing
