oh july. it’s always so bittersweet. it’s the month that signifies the ‘end’ of summer. it was super warm {finally} and super fun. we had the best time celebrating america’s birthday, grace’s birthday, and lots of summery stuff in-between.!

july was a complete whirlwind. i must admit. it came and went in a blink of an eye. it went by way too fast. i thoroughly enjoyed every day, every moment of july. i love the long days and warm nights. the ice cream cone moments. grilling and eating alfresco. the fireworks. birthday celebrations and overall shenanigans of these long summer days.

here is our july in pictures:
