July 2014

Notable events in July included Bernie Fritz Night at the local park (face painting (puppy and butterfly), music and dancing, playing at the park); swim days at the local pool; a weekend visit from Grandma Chisholm and Aunt Kathy; and re-celebrating James 2.5 birthday on St. James's Feast Day. 

 

While Grandma Chisholm and Aunt Kathy were in town, they went on the Lehigh Scenic Gorge Railroad, which the kids were thrilled to do.  It was great to have some time with these awesome best friends.

James is at the birthday-loving age and kept asking me why he hasn't had one.  So Alma and I decided to give him a day of feeling very special with homemade cookies, singing Happy 1/2 Birthday and even small presents (a Superman shirt and a Hungry Caterpillar bag).  James loved it and it was wonderful to see that Alma was beyond excited to celebrate her brother all day.
