JUNE 2011

We have had a busy, fun filled month of June thus far. Much of our free time (especially on the 90 degree days) has been spent at the pool. Addy has been swimming without water wings - in the shallow end at least.

I have no pool pictures, but I do have pictures from the sprinklers. We haven't needed to water the yard, but the sprinklers have been put to good use for other things :)

Lily had her recital last week, which was pretty all consuming. I keep having to remind myself that with dance, as opposed to baseball, there is one busy week. The recital was 4 nights - 2 nights of rehearsals and 2 nights of recitals. Seemed too much at the time, but baseball would have been 10 weeks of practices and 1 or 2 games each week. So it's fair. And, most importantly, Lily loved it. She was so proud of herself. We couldn't take pictures during the actual recital b/c no flash photography was allowed. But we ordered the DVD so we'll have that to remember the night by. On Saturday night, Mom, Dad, Barclay and I, Addy, Betty and Peter all came to the show. She did both of her dances, so it was really the best night to bring a crowd. Addy had a hard time b/c she really wanted to be a part of it all too - next year kiddo!

Sunday, of course, was mom's 60th birthday. We went out to breakfast, then to mass, and then on to Colleen's grad party. No pictures of any of that fun.

Then today it was cold and rainy, so the girls and I went to the Children's Museum to check out the new exhibit. They partnered with National Georgraphic and opened a Treasures of the Earth exhibit. It was very cool. Barclay met us for lunch, which was also cool!

Our summer is off to a great start!
