Photo update of our month
Fourth of July bbq and swimming with good friends
We borrowed a bike trailer and, while Joshua ran, the kids and I followed beside him on the
Lehigh River Canal trail. Hot day but fun ... especially playing at the Sand Island Park afterward.
Recent paintings from Alma -- the center painting is a volcano with a dinosaur climbing up the side
Lots of dressing up, going out for walks around the neighborhood (especially to Foxy Loxy's castle, a building on Moravian's campus) and dancing around the living room
James is officially drinking out of a cup these days. Alma loves playing restaurant and setting up snacks for her and James. Her independence is awesome.
You can see the last photo that the kitchen's bathroom door is open because I spent two weeks this month removing wallpaper and repainting the bathroom (hooray -- nearly the end of
apples all over the kitchen). It was a fun, relatively easy project with dramatic results. The bathroom is difficult to photograph but I'm sure eventually I'll share picture of the new dark grey/green look. Here it is mid-project...
How awesome are these two photos (below)? We were waiting outside the bank to do some MOMS Club transactions and they decided to be my "protectors". I love their muscles ... but maybe not as much as they love showing them off.
Since they both fell asleep in the car one day, I decided to drive to the zoo and surprise them when they woke up there. It was really fun to do. They loved the big sand box, the gardens and, of course, eating ice cream while we watched the cows.
Bucket and a paint brush make the best outdoor activity in the backyard
Pastor Maritza's house for a bbq. She purchased a pool for the kids to play in, which was so sweet. Here's Alma demonstrating her awesome torpedo (which she calls a tor-tea-toe, because, as she explained to me multiple times, it is a Spanish word like tortilla), James trying to drink from the fountain and the kids catching lightning bugs for the first time.
