Pointing to the baby's eye is great fun with a dolly! Sailor wasn't too impressed with her cousin's skills.

Swim Lessons

Adele loves the water. We had so much fun.



This is the first year that Anders got to go without a parent. He kept giving us the thumbs up and that made us feel better. He really did fabulously.

This one is for Izzie

Maybe someday soon you and Anders can ride the dump truck down the drive?

Our sincerest apologies

I am hoping that our blog-followers tune in quarterly because we have surely been slacking. It's summer's fault. We logged few weekends home and when we did, we strove to be respectable homeowners slaving away on 14309. Great photos and stories from the summer, but we have held them close... lovingly stroking their heads whispering, "My Precious".

So, since it's summer's fault, I figure I will share a little summer.

Lightning McQueen is, was and will likely always be a big deal. Not even kidding.... wish I was, but I am not.

Anders and Sophia spent many summer days together.


And we played and played...










And that pretty much wraps the summer. Most days ended like this...
