Back to School

Today Daniel started his last year of pre-school! He has been so excited to move up to the big kid/outdoor group and meet new friends.

 

 

Last days of Summer

As the season winds down, we've been enjoying every last bit of goodness summertime has to offer.

"Music at the Ranch", a series of live music in the gardens of Stow House has been one of our favorite summer activities for the past few years.

We were especially lucky to spend a lot of time with Val and Baby Jack this past month during their visit.

Kendall loves going to Music at the Ranch because she gets to partake in her favorite activities- eating and dancing!

Staking out "our spot" and waiting for everyone to arrive at Music at the Ranch.

The kids have been having fun together, especially chasing and wrestling each other.

We took the kids to their first Drive-In movie. We picked up In-N-Out and ate dinner in the Suburban before snuggling up with blankets and pillows. We ended up leaving before the end of the movie, but it was still a fun time.

We've done more swimming this summer than usual, and this girl is quite the little fishy.

 

 

Goodbye, Summer 2012! Thanks for the abundance of warm weather, beach and pool days, evening picnics and memories!

Red, white and blue, family, American flags, neighborhood block parties, tri-tip, beer, radio-flyer wagons, kids riding bikes in the street. It must be the Fourth! Happy 4th of July!
