Summer Days

We're having the kind of summer days that are so full you fall into bed exhausted.  They include hours of playing in water, woods and mud kitchen, hoisting buckets up to "castle" or "ship", popsicles at 9 am and long naps with stories in the afternoon. It is mid summer and the girls are growing! We make pickles and clean up marker from mouths and walls, we visit Nana and watch double rainbows, catch lightning bugs and catch toads in the creek. We go to birthday parties and learn to listen and obey. Our days are so full and yet sometimes so little is accomplished. Perhaps that is the way summer should be? 

To the Sea

We took a jaunt to the Seaside with family and while there celebrated our Ninth Anniversary. 

We had three lovely beach days and one very windy day, a trip to the Cape May Zoo, going up the lighthouse and many fun times with cousins and Uncle Mark, Aunt Bec, Granddad and Grammy. This is the first year Lena would step in the ocean or the sand and suffice to say, we were delighted with her new found joy.
