The Busy Days of Summer

Father's Day weekend came and went very quickly, just like the rest of the month of June did. We spent the weekend at home, having a quiet weekend in between weekends spent with visits from family. The thing I remember most about that weekend is that Anders really started putting two words together and one of his "sentences" was "Will Outside!" as Will came inside and left Anders outside. It was definitely a command to come back outside and came out as "Wo ousi!" It was funny. He now strings 3 or 4 words together.

While outside, Anders did some work on his bike.


Later in the week, he discovered the flour shaker.


This past weekend was a big weekend with a bridal shower for Will's cousin Sarah (I didn't have the camera), a birthday party for Eleanor who is now 3, and lots of family over.

Uncle Rob provided entertainment and probably hurt his back a bit.



We had pizza and cake to celebrate Eleanor's 3rd birthday. It was tasty and fun.




Anders tried to excavate the patio during the party - he knows I want a deck.


Finally, on Sunday we got a few pictures of the 4 cousins together. It took some doing and I could post a lot of pictures taken before Carrie got this perfect shot. Too bad I washed the rags that Will and I had to use to mop up the huge amount of water deposited in our house during the Friday night deluge. Guess we should have checked the weather before going to dinner and leaving the window open that night.


Anyway, it was a whirlwind weekend, but lots of fun. A taste of what is to come in September when everyone comes for Sarah and Josh's wedding!
