Haapy Father's Day!!

Philip - Thank you so much for the wonderful husband and father that you are to our family. You amaze me constantly, and watching the incredible relationship you have with your daughter brings tears of joy to my eyes! You are a wonderful man, and not only is Lia blessed to have you for a dad, I am equally as lucky to have you for a husband!! We love you with all our hearts - Happy Father's day!!

First official haircut!

Well, I finally took Lia to get a "real" haircut. Up until now, I have just trimmed it myself, but I think we got to the point where we needed an actual haircut. So, today Philip and I took her to get her first real haircut at the only place we could find open at 4:00 pm on Father's Day Sunday - Great Clips - and it went great!! She hopped up in the chair, didn't protest at all when the lady put the cape on her, and sat perfectly still for the whole thing - she even smiled for the camera!! She is such a big girl these days, and we are always so proud of her! : ) Here are pics of the new 'do (every time I look at them all I can focus on is that picture on the wall of the goofy looking dude - gotta love the way they decorate at Great Clips!) and the happy customer with her sucker in the car afterwards!

Ella

We went yesterday for our 20 month ultrasound and got to see our little girl again : ) They confirmed that we are having another girl and said that everything looked great! We have decided to name her Virginia Elaine Cato and call her Ella for short. Both Virginia and Elaine are family names on Philip's and my side, and we felt like it would be a beautiful name for our next little angel! I will try to upload the ultrasound video later this evening...We are all so excited about our growing family and thank God for such a blessing!!

Our summer so far...

We've already had a busy summer and still have much more planned! We drove to Gulf Shores for Memorial Day weekend, and from there we went to the lake. We have had so much fun!! It will definitely be a summer that I never forget : ) Here are some photos of our adventures so far:
