Can't Stop

Snails
June 19th, day 170.

Snails are everywhere around here, at one time I swear tI saw at least 12 snails on my front porch!

Farm
June 20th, day 171.

Played with her toy farm set this afternoon.  I think I made her believe in magic.  She would place the sheep into the barn through the front door, while I would sneak him out the back.  I had her say "abra cadabra sheep disapear!" So when she'd open the door he'd be gone.  We played this for the longest time.  I'm not sure if she really believed that the little sheep disappeared or if she knew what momma was up to.

I spy

Why so Sad?

Is it because mommy forgot to take a picture on the 24th?

Father's Day

Father's Day
June 16, day 167.

The beach was the backdrop to our father's day celebration.  We had a nice picnic and then set out in search of any sea life that might have been left behind during the low tide.

Our youngest was the brave one, she just took off running, splashing along the wet sand and touching everything she could get her hands on.  We found tiny crabs and sand dollars in our search.

While our oldest preferred the comfort and familiarity of the soft dry sand.  Searching it for the perfect shell to take home.

We found one.

Happy Father's Day dad and hubby, love you guys :)

Bottle Thief
June 7, day 158.

She's often found hidden somewhere with her sisters bottle.  I think she likes being caught.

Ready to Pick
June 8, day 159.

Vegetables and berries are ripening in our garden and the little ones are loving it.  We visit our petit jardin often and the kids love picking and devouring what they find, and for baby A that means even green strawberries are up for grabs.

A Weekend Trip

May 24th, day 145.

We spent our Memorial Day weekend in the calm serenity of a tiny town surrounded by fruit orchards and rolling hills.  A distant thunder storm welcomed us with a show our first night there.  We were all mesmerized by it, planting our lawn chairs so we could sit and watch the storm and listen to the rumbles of thunder.

We enjoyed our time here with family, taking in the different landscape and warmer weather.  We will be coming back to this place...

May 25th, day 146.

Our brave little girl jumping into the pool for the first time.
