July

So much fun keeping up with A!

Little fishy!

This has been a summer of swimming! Since we joined ACAC in late May we all have had significant pool time and Audrey is progressing quickly. We are so excited that she is swimming independently. She decided in early July that she wanted to tide on the water slide and the rule is that the kids must swim a length of the pool. Well when she learned that during July 4 weekend, the puddle jumper came off and she and Josh got to the serious work of swimming. Now at the end of the month she can do about a half a lap of soggy doggy paddle. She is determined.  Of course she has had fun swimming with friends and just playing at the pool and doing back yard water play.

How does your garden grow?

This summer we started Audrey's first garden. Grandma provided the plants from her source in central Pa and mommy planted the garden in the flower bed in May. This summer we've had small successes with the garden. Audrey's first crop were the green beans and she loved harvesting and immediately eating the beans.  For some reason she started calling herself "Auge" (idk how to spell it but it rhymes with hodge) only when she eats from the garden.  So now she has her cucumber crop emerging and I told her last week to wait two more days for her cuke, so tonight we looked at her cucumber plants and she decided to wait. "Two more days." The tomatoes will be next!

School is out for summer! Audrey went to Rehoboth beach, spent lots of time with family at home and in Selinsgrove, and has enjoyed lots of friend time. She is helping mommy and daddy to get ready for her baby brother!
