Some other goings-on in the month of July…

Ruthie and I embarked on a mommy/daughter project and made a matching dress and skirt. She sat on my lap for nearly every stitch.

The boys gave the front porch a fresh sparkling coat of paint. Ahhh

We found alien creatures on our tomato plants. Well, maybe not alien, but they sure looked creepy. If you want a quick biology lesson, you can read about hornworms and their arch nemesis, the braconid wasp.

Molly took literally The Dog Days of Summer.

And though it was hard for me to accept at first, football practice began in July this year. We had a whopping four days between the end of baseball and the beginning of football.
