Fourth of July

Time for fireworks!Attempting to catch fireflies...

Craft Camp

Last week the girls attended craft camp.

At the end of Day 1 of Craft Camp...

You can see by the first day how prolific they will be!

I couldn't gather up everything they made, but here is some of Isabella's artwork...

and some of Gianna's artwork...

Happy Birthday to Daddy!

Filmed right after swimming lessons, thus the lack of clothes!

Andrew

Andrew's first "jump" (I use that term loosely) off the diving board this morning!

Our new friend

We are moving to Milwaukee sometime soon, hopefully by the end of summer. The only thing that convinces Gianna that she wants to go with us is her new friend, Slick the Sea Lion at the Milwaukee Zoo! She was very proud to be right in front of Slick while we took this picture, and looks at the picture all the time.

Siblings

Whichever one of the girls is in the same row in the van as Andrew usually holds his hand. I don't remember how long ago they started it, but the other day I had my camera with me and it dawned on me to take a picture. When they are teenagers I will use this picture to remind them of how much they've always loved each other. That being said, I feel it's only right to add that they fight all the time! For some reason the van is neutral territory I guess!

"Big Boy Class"

Andrew moved up a class for the second session of swim lessons this summer. Now his class is without me! He kept telling me all day that he's in the "big boy class". It was the first thing he's done without Mommy or Daddy and he did great!


At the start of summer, the girls would barely put their mouth in the water to blow bubbles, look at Gianna go now!
