Summertime

Where in the world did our summer break go?? It just seem like yesterday that streaks of sunshine were peeking through our windows calling us to come outside and play. We spent a lot of time outside this summer exploring, picnicking, and playing many games of UNO and Checkers. I love this stage, where my kids are so anxious to know about everything and beg to learn. We read lots of books this summer and nurtured many creatures and insects.

We were just starting to get used to the simpleness when its time to end.



Maximus and I love the water! One day we are going to live right beside it!

Warm sunshine, cool pool, BBQ chips, cold Pepsi.... makes for a good summer day!

Maximus loves loves loves to swim!
