Happy Birthday to me.
Ellie helped blow the candles out with me.

July passed by in a rainy blur. We spent the 4th of July at the lake. In between storms, we ventured out for some quick trips, but mostly, it just stayed wet. The kids attempted to fish in the pond, but I don’t think the fish liked the rain either. But wait a minute. What is this one doing? Oh. Torturing Playing with …

Tuesday nights we head over to the library for a free show. They always bring in really entertaining acts. This week was Safari Greg. He brought a Milk Snake, a Cayman, a Boa Constrictor and a Milk Snake to show. He also does a bit of magic. The room erupted with screams when that funny helmet lamp lit up no matter how …

We had another great trip to Seagrove with the Betbeze family. The weather wasn’t great beginning on Sunday, but the water was beautiful! Many of the family were not there, so the house didn’t seem nearly as crowded. These two are becoming fast friends. I wonder what they were talking about. (Sorry the colors are …

(One could safely say that I am behind on posting pictures.) We made a quick trip to the pond on Memorial Day. We were not too successful. Ellie briefly caught a bluegill. And a fishing trip with a toddler would not be complete without a hook in someone’s hair. Good times.

It was a great trip, with fantastic weather. The condo was perfect for us: 2 bedrooms with bunk beds in the 2nd bedroom. It had an indoor and outdoor pool, …

Yes, I thought graduation from 4K was a bit silly. However, Samantha was nervous and excited at the same time. It is a big deal because the Kindergarteners are in a different building, they wear uniforms, and go to school all day. So, we said good bye to preschool. Kindergarten, here we come! She received a diploma …

Sam met her Kindergarten teacher today. She has been really nervous about going to Kindergarten, but after today, she is super excited. So excited that she decided to read Green Eggs and Ham to me tonight. She’s been reading for a while, but she doesn’t ever like to read books before bed. I guess that’s because we have …
