SUMMER, and other exciting developments

Summer has arrived! We've been doing all kinds of fun stuff, like kicking back while the kids wash our cars.



A couple weeks ago was the last day of school for both kids. Here is Elsa with her preschool diploma! This fall she'll go off to Wyoming Elementary for Kindergarten. Lila will stay at the Family Center and attend 3-year-old preschool.


Yesterday was SO hot, and today will be even hotter. We ate popsicles, played in the pool, and went to our favorite beach with some friends. You can't really tell, but here they're doing a "welcome back summer" dance.




Yesterday was also the official first digging day of our new house! We went out there around 6 pm and told the girls we were going to go look at a big hole. Needless to say, they weren't too excited. But when we got there, they (and we) were totally amazed. It brought me back to when my parents built our house when I was 5 and my sister was 3 - the same ages as our kids. What kid doesn't love dirt piles?! They ran around and played house in the basement. Lila sat in the corner of the big hole and I said, "What are you doing?" She looked at me like the answer was obvious and said,"Watching TV!"
