One of the most important words in our language! Combining a nature walk with spelling and letters is fun!
We went on a hike to a new state park this weekend ... saw a snake too. Good times. On a different day, at a different state park, we saw this:

A vulture having a nasty snack! Wow!

Other summer activities at our house include:
Playing fun games ... doesn't she look studious here?

Brain buckets doubled-up in the bike trailer. lol.


Someone's walking!!! (I'm working on a video - someday it'll get posted). Doesn't she look like a big girl? I think this is one of our first pics of her standing in the middle of the room by herself.


Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July!

I absolutely love how you embrace motherhood. The activities and cool things you do, especially for big sis, are so incredible. These two little girls are so lucky to have you as a mom. Being a teacher, I love the alphabet book. So cool! Love ya Jess!
