I asked Elanor the other day, what her favorite thing to do was. She said "read books". It made me so proud.
Even though she is only three, and can't read yet, both she and Liddy would be content for hours on end with a large pile of books. In fact, one of our new favorite hobbies is visiting the library.
But it's summer time, and we can't spend all of it inside reading books. And we have certainly had a lot of fun lately with lots of different activities. I realize now, as I see the collection of pictures below, that we have been up to a lot, spending time with friends and family, and enjoying the summer.
Summer got started off with a new "first", Ella graduated (from daycare)!!
And here she is with her graduating class. All six girls graduated and will be starting preschool this year.
Bella, Ella, Maeve, Piper, Addison and Paige
We have had lots of fun with our neighbors. Here is Olivia, Elanor and Evie playing on the sprinkler mat. A favorite thing to do on a hot summer day.
Grandpa George, Lindy, Megan, Ella, Julie, Dan and Lydia
And Liddy found some fun cabinets to hide in and play "peek-a-boo".
In general, we had an active, memorable month. Here are some more pictures of the highlights.
