Busy

Blogging has been prioritized way behind move preparations, but I thought I'd post a few pictures of the fun things we've been up to in between and in spite of the stress.

Picking and eating the garden. Peas are instant gratification. No tomatoes yet, but squash, beans and cucumbers fill out almost every meal.

Sliding...

...splashing...


...and diving (and of course, swimming) at swimming lessons.

Pirate birthday parties with good friends.

Pigtails!


Eating lots of icecream.

Catching toads in our UPSTAIRS bathroom. I was in the shower and heard Miss A saying: "Foggy, foggy!" Me: "Do you see one?" (thinking it was in a book) Miss A: "Yah." Sure enough. No one claims responsibility and we still don't know how he got there.

And catching up on snuggles and good books.

Fireworks

E's parents and Aunt Janice left this evening on the train back to Colorado. E and I feel like we barely saw them, but the kids have been very well loved (and read to). Thanks to the generosity of Grandad (or did the non-stop begging have something to do with it?) we had a fun time setting off our 4th of July fireworks the last night before they had to go.




Happy late birthday, America!
