summertime boys




The summer is in full swing (even though I sometimes I feel like it's already winding down).  The boys are enjoying the freedom of the season, especially the sleeping in and not going to school parts!  I'm really enjoying spending lots of quiet time with them here at the house.

It seems these days we're constantly  taking long walks, feeding ducks, playing in parks with friends, dancing and singing, reading books, drawing, watching funny movies, eating snacks and having lots of fun!  Here are a couple shots of the kids enjoying the nearby pond, or maybe it's a moat, that encircles the fort.  And then there's Simon, sans his other front tooth.  What a guy!  I've got tons of photos to show off, so check back soon for a photo extravaganza!

Pancakes!



People don't eat pancakes here, well they do, but they're crepes.  It was a super treat to have normal pancakes with maple syrup.  The boys especially enjoyed something wonderful and familiar.
