thought it was funny that one of my kids pulled this book off the shelf. how did they know?

and finally, a completed outfit for Annely Blake. although cute, the belly is not really supposed to show. (note to self...cut out larger size next time)

School

School started yesterday for Will. Here are a few pictures from his first day!

Lazy Summer Days

Not much to say. Just a bunch of pictures from the past week, winding down our summer. We have a lot to pack in before fall starts.

Here we go....

Countdown....

to school. One week and counting! Will starts pre-school on the 18th, going three days a week this year. Summer seems especially hard when school and church activities are on hold and I'm looking for something to do every day. This week we've been busy with playgroup, pool, and park. Here are some pictures from our (hot) morning at the park watching the ducks.
