Swwet Summer Traditions

Oh, it's July Fourth!! Take a look back at photos from the past three years. (I only did the last three because that marks the years of me owning a digital camera!!) There were so many great memories not captured on film.

Look at how these kids have grown!

I wish could get the photos on here from the years when the people who are carrying babies around were only teenagers (or younger!) themselves!!

Thank you Wickstrums for beginning (and continuing) this favorite tradition - the best part of every summer.

Thimble Summer


Oh my goodness. So we all think every baby is amazing. And it's true. Every baby is amazing.
Here's how our Little Finnian is amazing. I felt as if I almost watched her grow up today. While watching campers today she tugged me close to her and looked at me and said, "Hi!" She really did! She tried spaghetti tonight, from my fork. She loved it. She waves at will now. She was crawling all over with her belly up - which looks so different from her patented army crawl. She was pulling to her knees with the greatest of ease. Then she pulled to standing. She thinks she is so cool now.
She even tried Gatorade today! (Daddy likes to share!) And this week she has tried fresh-from-the-farm apricots, plums and raspberries. She especially enjoyed the apricots although she did not refuse any fruit!
