The end of summer

Best pick in town:

Jonathan and Amanda are the bookends to summer--Jonathan's birthday falls on or around Memorial Day and Amanda's on Labor Day.  This year both were on the Monday of the those long weekends so, it made it a particularly exciting summer.  And now as this hot, sticky season comes to a close, we've uploaded pictures of the summer that was.  (Check them out, to the right)

The hot weather waved in pigtails for Abigail, berry and peach picking on Mama's birthday, writing (and smelling) with great big crayons, a trip to the Museum of Moving Image, dancing at a parade, blowing kisses (she's got the first part down--bringing her hand to her mouth but hasn't yet extended her hand out to send the kiss but, the sentiment is there) and plenty of PEEK-A-BOO time.

She still has a great love of flowers and is simply amazed at the world around her.  "Ooo" and "Mmmm" and "Ahhh" have become everyday expressions in her excitement of living each day to the fullest.  It's a joy to see her find wonder in water, going up and down again and again (while saying "updownupdownupdownupdown") and to just be in her jubilant presence. (even with her cold!)
