Back in the groove

We are back in the groove (kind of) from our fabulous 2 week vacation in Oregon, enjoying farm fresh Virginia peaches and contagious laughter.  

Enjoy!

Summertime Fun

Games with the neighbor kids

Ada and her friend, Nixie Fae

Duck, Duck, Goose!

Guess who is the Goose

Genuine joy

Getting in on the action with his big sister

This one makes me smile every time I look at it

Fun on the 4th!

Eight Months

 

Madly in love with this one, I tell you.

Conversations with Ada: Installment 3

Please note cut on her lip for the first day of camp.  Someone wanted to shave like her Daddy.  

Sam, "Ada, what did you do at school today?"

Ada, in the backseat of the car on their way home, "You talk for me, Dad. I'm tired."

Garbage can for Oscar the Grouch

 

Later that day.

Michele, "Ada, how was summer camp today? What did you do?"

Ada, "I can't talk, Mom."

Big Bird

Thankfully we have evidence of what she did this week.  

 Little stinker.

Happy Father's Day!

She loves her boots!

Playing with her friend, Nixie Fae

Mom!

The inevitable

I don't like how quickly this is happening.  

How fast they are growing.

Crawling.

Baby food.

Helping to set the table.

Dressing all on her own. 

Summer camp.
Saying things like, "I am growing up". 

The list goes on.

Pretending to be a Doctor with Sam's belt as her stethoscope

I bought this onsie before I was even pregnant with Ada.  Ada wore it and now he is about to grow out of it, too.

I know I should be happy about this. 
 
I am not. 

Sorry this is blurry - Ada took a picture of her "brudder" in his Santa hat

Proud of her braid

It is all happening way too fast.

I suppose I will just be proud instead.
