Meg’s best friend Maggie moved to a new house this summer. Here Meg is helping her get settled in.
And, the new place has a pool!
Some day I’ll do a post of these two through the years. I have a shot of them sitting in highchairs next to each other at Meg’s first birthday, pictures from almost 9 years’ worth of church Easter egg hunts, plus many more great photos of their smiling faces side by side.
I had to post both of these pictures:
this one so you can see his dinosaur jammies on backwards
and this one so you can see his cute profile.
He is quite meticulous at his silverware job. And while he was working he spontaneously announced, “That’s another tip from This Old House, sponsored by the Home Depot.” How cute can a little boy be?!?! And funny.
These two are pretty entertaining together. Caleb frequently begs to go next door and play “wif Luuke” and Luke often succeeds in slipping over to help himself to our garden hose or toy power tools. Their favorite pastime, though, is big wheeling together in the cul de sac, and crashing into each other as much as possible. Should be some interesting adventures ahead for this dynamic duo.
Meg and Nate had another great summer at Camp Westminster. We still couldn’t find a buddy to attend a regular week-long session with Nate, so we signed him up for back-to-back first-timer sessions with his friend Ian. They had a great time AND Nate made it all the way up the climbing tower and down the zip line! Way to go Nate.
Meg was excited to go to camp with Nella (pictured) and Anna again. But the biggest thrill was that after three years of waiting she FINALLY got to go the same week as her best friend, Maggie.
Next year Kate will be old enough to go, too! Yay!!
The highlight of our last spring trip to Birmingham was catching several turtles.
The kids spent lots of time rearranging the habitat. I spent lots of time pushing hand sanitizer on them.
I reluctantly agreed to let them bring home a tiny little turtle. Poor Bubbles was left in the sun while we went to church. The kids and their friends held several funerals.
