So here we are. Mia's gone. We're flyin' solo.

The true test begins and boy, it was a busy month!

Baths to take.

People to see and meet.

Uncle Mark and Aunt Sheila dropped by for a visit!

Jaelynn and her mommy, Miss Jenn, spied up on Lucy while she slept in her cradle

Awe ... sweetness!

(And yes, Wilma is the name of our male cat ... long story) 

Jaelynn's daddy, Mr. James, came by too!

The Hodson family (minus Daddy Brian) came by for a visit.
They brought cute clothes and a yummy dinner! Thanks guys!

It was a record-breaking day ... 98 degrees! :(

So, we had to take a break to feed Lucy and drink LOTS of water!

Snuggle-time with Uncle Ronnie, as we all piled into the spare bedroom
