Having covered the birthdays individually, I can focus on all the busy fun of the month!
The Fourth of July
Norwood Parade
A growing baby bump
A gathering of friends for a picnic
We hiked the
A fun day in the library for the littles
And a first for Giselle: Ballet lessons! She couldn’t be happier!!
I hardly make it into the pictures because I can’t do selfies and I’m usually the one taking them! But here... I’m still a part of this family! Haha!
A very talented lady from our church led a wonderful Summer study on Anne of Green Gables with a group of girls. They met once a week, read through the book, discussed the chapters, and closed the study with a spectacular outdoor poetry and tea time!
They dressed up for the ocassion.
The details of the evening were just so lovely.
They shared beautiful poetry
More pretty details
And there even was raspberry cordial!
We’re always thankful for the investment that so many talented people in our community make in our children by opening up such amazing opportunities for their growth!
We also took advantage of one of the local towns offering of swimming lessons. Second year for the oldest four, but the first time for our Leo. Our adventurous and fearless Leo finally found his match! He wasn’t as fearless (thank God!) in the water as he tends to be on solid ground.
He still had a blast, though!
And Victoria, as usual, kept us on our toes by taking sun protection to a whole new level.
