A sunny day, a cute girl and a hat=a recipe for picture taking!

The sun made an unexpected, and long awaited, appearance Thursday. So we investigated what a perfect june afternoon should include:

Ice coffee

Three cute kids

Brucie plays photographer

Bruce wanted to practice his photography while we were stuck inside yesterday. He did really well actually!

Six months!

I'm 6 months old! I eat bananas, I army crawl and I'm awesome in every way!





ta-da! weighing in at 16lbs 8oz 26 1/2 inches


Brucie at 6 months was 15lbs 9ozs and 26 3/4inches HA! I am HUGE, I outweigh him by almost a pound at this age. watch out I am taking over! But he was also handsome:

Mama can't remember how much Lily weighed at 6 months but she was 12lbs 15ozs and 25 inches at 4 months...so I probably outweigh her (when she was 6 months) by 3 pounds easy! But she looks cuter than I would in purple :)

bananas!!

I turned six months this week so I got bananas! yippee





I'm a messy eater so sometimes mama takes my clothes off while I eat!

Backyard tenting

we really want to go camping this summer, and since we hadn't touched our camp gear in about oh, ahem, 5 years,(we couldn't even remember what color the tent was!) we needed to get it all out and air it out, take inventory etc. Last week by the mercy of God it stopped raining for 2 whole nights in a row, and so out the gear came.

"helping" daddy set up the tent to air out

eating food fresh off the grill mmmmm


mom and dad sorted our other camp equipment...they made themselves camp coffee on the camp stove for fun.

checking out the camp pads

we didn't sleep in it overnight but we did read books in there and generally enjoy the whole process. If it ever stop raining in Maine our folks have promised to take us camping for real!
