Where did the summer go?

I'm sure it looks as if I've abandoned the idea of blogging...but really, it's just been a hectic summer with lots of ups & downs.  We're moving in just a few weeks.  As always, it is bittersweet.  Here are a few pix to give you a glimpse of our summer...

She's ready for an adventure!

Zeke's first helicopter ride.  It took half the day to get him on a ride, but once he tried it, he was hooked!

An afternoon at the Japanese gardens

He was really hoping to catch something.

This is their FAVORITE thing to do!

Lily turns 2.  We finally broke down and indulged her in a few very girly things.

Lily's sporting her "lady bigfoot" slippers.  Thanks, Johnna!

She's back to dressing herself. This time, she actually got on her doll's pants.  She was not so successful with the shirt. 

Patiently waiting for a geyser to erupt. 

It was well worth the wait.
