Seven!

"Tomorrow is going to be the best day of my whole life! I'll be SEVEN!"

Happy, Happy Birthday to our favorite girl in the world! I can hardly believe seven years have passed. But then I realize what a brilliant, creative, hilarious, considerate, loving, tremendous person you've become, Eva...and, while I still see my tiny, first-born baby in your eyes, I know beyond a doubt that it has indeed been seven years...
and you are rocking it, kiddo.

We love you. So very much.
Mama, Daddy, and Sully

SUMMER!

Wow, it's only been two weeks, and already I feel this summer flying by...perhaps that's due to both kiddos having summer birthdays, so we have to plan way ahead for the season's weekends? I don't know.

But I DO know that we've been doing things, and I haven't been on top of sharing them here. Oops! And these are important things, people, like...

We all went to the movies together (Sully's first time!), and...

This guy learned to pump on a swing, and can now swing himself all the way up into the tree branches!

There have also been numerous library shows/visits, many ice cream cones eaten, and a whole lot of playground playing done. I've purposely kept this summer's schedule a loose one--I signed Eva up for only one class--so we could enjoy lots of laid-back days with plenty of chances to get bored (and therefore many opportunities for the kids to come up with fantastic things to do), and so far, we are all pretty darn happy with that choice, I think.

Summer's going by quickly...but it's going to be a good one. I can tell.

What a beautiful day it was!

Bob!

Well, Ms. Eva decided it was time to cut her hair short, so that's just what we did this weekend!

Before:

After:

And then way after, when it was dry, her head exploded with curls into the cutest little style she's had yet. (I"m sure of it.) Of course, I don't have any pictures of that part, because why would I? But I'll post one (er...and take one) very soon. So cute! Man, this kid has a lot of hair.

Thanks Grammy!
