Summer

Summer has finally started, well, at least by the calendar. The weather has been cool and rainy and my work has extended a little longer than expected due to a nasty case of strep throat. Thankfully, I believe we may have made it now!

The kids have been busy playing and growing.



Here is Adelyn and Wyn on the swings in Almira, WA. Adelyn is not a fan of swings. We have to take it pretty slow!




It was a busy day at the park with all those kids!




She does, however, like the horse.




Andrea has learned how to crawl and now often finds snacks on the floor. This one was part of a fiber one bar left by Adelyn.




Adelyn is always joking around.




Annaka has learned how to ride her bike! Spills and scars must come with that territory!

I have video to post on that later.

The Home Stretch

I only have two more days with students, then a few days of training and finally I present at a regional conference at the ESD about technology in the classroom. I'm so ready for summer and ready to take a much needed break from the pressure of meeting standards and passing state tests.

Here is a little recap on what we've been up to for the last month or so.




Caleb built some lovely benches out by our brick oven/BBQ outside. Nice gloves honey!










We went to Portland to watch April graduate. Good job, Sissy!




We they to get out on walks down to g and g's when we have time.




We watched a tee-ball season come and go. Nice job kiddo! Annaka says she doesn't like standing in the grassy area. She only likes to swing the bat and get snacks.



We have been gardening. These are our cabbages and broccolis.




We make bread. We eat bread.




This is Adelyn at the Town And Country Days Parade.




Annaka at the parade.




The girls wanted to water the poppy plant. I think they nearly drowned the seedlings next to it!

Baby Andrea cut her first tooth and learned how to crawl last week. She's 7 and a half months old and things are getting interesting around here now. Today, I found Andrea today with half a snap pea in her mouth. Tomorrow's diaper could be interesting!
