Relaxing

The other day, I was cleaning up the dinner dishes and saw this outside my window. Auntie Fiona was reading to the girls outside because it was cooler than inside the house after a warm day. Natalie, of course, could not sit still, but Keira and Cayleigh were really enjoying the book. (I think their Auntie enjoyed the book just as much as they did.)

New Bike

Cayleigh and Keira had both outgrown their bikes, so we bought Cayleigh a new one as an early birthday present. Sorry, Keira. You get another hand-me-down from your big sister. I know just what that is like.

June 2008

Rosebud learned to ride her bike without training wheels way back in June!  I have not posted about many events from the summer, but I do plan to catch up at least a little bit. The girls don't have much opportunity to ride their bikes since we are paranoid about letting them ride in the street.  We decided to give them some practice by taking them to the junior high school tennis courts.  The school has four courts together in one fenced enclosure.  It works out great for our family.  The girls ride their bikes and Hubby and I play tennis.  The best part is that Pixie has a little basket on her bike and loves to ride around and gather the balls for us!

Due to my large supply of scrapbooking supplies, which I love, my husband suggested that I explore digital scrapbooking.  Apparently digital supplies take up A LOT less space than paper supplies!  I have done a bit of research and experiments with digital scrapbooking, and I just do not love it.  I think it would help if I actually knew how to do it.  Anyway, here is one of my experiments.  If any of you have any suggestions of how I can learn to scrapbook on my computer....please let me know.

Not Forgotten

I hate to post without a photo, but I'm going to.  I have not forgotten my blog, or my handful of faithful readers...ha ha, but it may be a while before I find the time to post any updates of what has been keeping us so busy.  Here's a brief list of recent adventures...coaching soccer, playing soccer, kayaking, backpacking, bike riding, weekend trips, swim lessons, photographing a wedding, and processing over 600 photos!  Up next....Wyoming, Atlanta, and camping.  More to come....

Swim Lessons

We have the girls in swim lessons this week and next week. We wanted to make sure that they were prepared to play in the water when we get to the beach at the end of this month. Keira has really taken to the water, she was not afraid like Cayleigh was when she first started swim lessons. Cayleigh has really improved over last year, and it is exciting to see her growth. I think it really helps that the girls have friends in lessons with them. It is also nice for me to have the company of their friends' Moms while I watch the girls at their lessons. Kudos to the city for making swim lessons affordable.
