Dear Grandma Sweetness

This is my heartfelt note for your birthday-

Thank you for taking such good care of me!

You were master swaddler to help me feel warm and comfortable

And if that didn't work, you were always good for a cuddle! 

You held me even when I was in a bad mood 

You played fun games with me

And encouraged me to smile

But you were still willing to be serious if needed. Like during a staring contest.

Deliberately, 
Dash

In Summer

It's been a family and fun filled summer (click on the photos to enlarge):

I'm Baaaaaack!!

I remember reading a friend's blog and once she hit her bar studies, she bid the world adieu and stopped blogging for months. I remember thinking that I wouldn't do the same thing, but I basically did. Now that the Bar is over, though...

I finally finished that Family Proclamation Project I started two months ago:

I opened my own Etsy shop! And I had my first sale within a week--which was totally unexpected and awesome. Hopefully I'll have an official logo soon. I'm planning on posting new earrings once a week.

I'm volunteering at a walk-in immigration clinic on Tuesdays, to keep up my lawyering skills. We'll find out about my Bar results in 8-10 weeks, which means end of September/ beginning of October.

The sky is the limit now that I'm done studying. I can read books just for fun, visit family, go to the pool...I might even write a children's book!

Dear Dash: Seven Months

Dear Dash,

You survived the Bar!! We finally found a solid food you like- sweet potatoes. You continue to be a social baby, which helped with all the babysitters you had.

You've sprouted a bottom tooth and are becoming more mobile as you easily flip from your back to belly to back. You are a champion sitter, although we still have to make sure you don't face-plant. You are occasionally ticklish and constantly squirming.

We love your smiles!

Rebekah
