i think one of the girls actually took these. probably madeleine.
when diane feels like she's picked an exceptionally good outfit and hairstyle, she'll sometimes ask me to take a picture of her. this was one of those days.
this was madeleine at the "hawk walk," a fundraiser for her school.
we had some friends that were moving and had a double birthday party for their girls, who are right around my girls' ages. they did it at a gymnastics facility and the girls had a blast.
jonathan had a couple weeks during june where he walked around with garden gloves on as much as possible. the week before the garden gloves, it was an oven mitt. they were huge on them, and he walked around with his hands held up high so that they wouldn't fall off. it looked like he was constantly prepped to do surgery or something. pretty hilarious.
we had some visitors in june. randy's brother came with his kids, and grandpa bob joined them. grammy came the next week, but i somehow failed to get a single picture of her here.
while randy's brother was here, the boys (minus jonathan) all went camping, so the rest of us decided to go get some milkshakes and fries and enjoy the kirkland waterfront a little.
we also went to the everett children's museum. i had never been before and it was pretty fun. the kids loved it.
madeleine wrapped up her first year of school last month. it's hard to believe she'll be in school full day in the fall.
this is a picture of her and her teacher, mrs. wilson. she was a fabulous teacher, and a perfect fit for madeleine.
madeleine and irina, one of her best friends from kindergarten. she lives right by us, so we walk to and from school together most days.
i believe the following three were taken at 6:00am for a "one of these things is not like the other," sequence on instagram.
we bought a pool pass this year. it's actually the pool that i grew up going to. it's a neighborhood pool, mostly for the HOA members, but they sell a limited number of pool passes each year to non-members. it's one of the closest pools to us, and since i want my kids to be in the pool a lot more than they have been previously, we decided to bite the bullet and buy a pass.
we went to the pool pretty much every day except sundays in june. regardless of weather, right after naps we all suit up and head to the pool. for lots of june, the weather wasn't amazing, so we frequently had the pool either to ourselves, or only shared it with a few people. the pool is heated to 84 degrees, so even when it's cold outside, the pool was still pleasant to be in. my kids love it and i love it, too.
