We went to Jenny’s Strawberry Picking Party today, except that (surprise, surprise) it was raining. So we didn’t pick, and instead we went to Jenny’s to eat yummy strawberry shortcake instead. Anna and Carrie certainly enjoyed themselves despite the lack of picking! (And Carrie got to see Wallace and Grommit while we were there. She [...]
Dear Carolyn, You’ve been out of school for nearly a month – this summer is already flying by! I’m afraid I’m going to blink and you’ll be on the bus for kindergarten! So far we’re having a pretty low-key summer. I’m almost embarrassed to admit that our daily morning argument typically centers around whether you [...]
Nana and Poppy were up for a visit this weekend and left this morning. The girls had such a good time while they were here. Carrie and Nana were pretty much inseparable. Luckily, we’ll see them again in a few weeks for Anna’s birthday party!
With the almost daily rain we’ve had for the past few weeks, I didn’t manage to get the DADDDY pictures done yet. But we still wanted to say “Happy Father’s Day” to Denis, Grandpa and Poppy!
I bravely stuck my finger in Anna’s mouth this morning and found a teeny-tiny top tooth poking out (her right, center top tooth). There was no crying or any other sleep interruption, so it must not have bothered her at all. Bring on the steak now! (Just kidding.)
We had the windows cleaned professionally today. We had to get the gutters done, because the back of the house is on a hill and the roof is essentially three stories up. And the place we went with also does windows. So we decided to splurge. Oh, my, do they sparkle! We also took down [...]
Anna had her first dip in the pool today. A rather chilly dip, as we haven’t put the solar cover on and it’s really been rather mild so far this summer, but she seemed to enjoy it. Carrie discovered that she can stand on her tip-toes in the shallow end and have the water only [...]
Carrie did very, very well at her recital today. All the girls did! It was a very long time for her to sit in the auditorium, so we did spend some time hanging out in the cafeteria in the building. But she watched a lot of the other performances, and stuck it all the way [...]
Dear Anna, One more month until the big first birthday! Time flies when you’re having fun! You haven’t tried too many new foods this month, let’s see…tuna fish, raspberries, yellow beans and sunbutter (like peanut butter, only made with sunflower seeds). But you’ve tried many new table food versions of things you’ve had before. You [...]
All I can say, is that while half of them don’t really know most of the choreography, Carrie’s class entirely makes up for it in extreme cuteness. And they’ve all clearly worked very, very hard on their dances. I can’t wait for the recital on Saturday!
