It's happened again...I have completely neglected to update our blog for over two months now. Seriously, where does the time go?!?
Harper and Riley are now 10 months old (how did THAT happen?) and busier than ever. To catch you up to speed, here is a quick recap of a few of the Stephens' family happenings throughout the past few months...
The girls turned 8 months old on July 9th!

One weekend in July (though it's been so long I can't remember which) we took a quick trip to my Grandpa's cabin with our friends Amy and Tony and their sweet little boy Asa. All the babies were a bit under the weather while we were there, but seemed to have a good time despite all the snottiness. Caleb and Tony went on a fly fishing expedition that Saturday, while Amy and I stayed back at the cabin and hung out with the babies. Since we were a bit house-bound, I convinced Amy it would be a good idea to walk down to the river with ALL the babies in tow. So we went, Amy with Asa in his front carrier and me with Riley in the Bjorn and Harper in my arms...bad plan! I guess I didn't realize how heavy they have gotten recently.
Since Riley in particular had gotten increasingly mobile prior to this trip, it was necessary to bring a few baby gates to the cabin so we could create a baby-safe zone and maintain some of our sanity. :)

We have continued to enjoy our weekly visits from Great Grandpa... |

| Harper often has a difficult time with the camera flash, so we have LOTS of pics of her with eyes shut |

We also had a few visits from Grandpa and Grandma Stephens in August, but sadly, we apparently did not pull out the camera either weekend cause I can't find any pics...I vow to do better next time! :)
The girls turned 9 months on August 9th...

My mom came into town for a visit in August, and we were able to fit in another quick trip to the cabin. Here are just a few pics...not sure why we didn't take more.

I know that was a lot of pictures and not much blogging, but I'm playing catch up. :)
