A Summer's Day

Summer Flashback Series, Part Three

What do you get when you put together three kids, warm weather, and days that seem to stretch on too long? Summertime!

What about when you add in to the mix a new camera? Well, you get lots of pictures of kids just passing time around the house.

Allie and I would take turns feeding Rowan.
It was messy at first but her aim improved with practice.

Rowan at 8 months. He also answers to Row-bot, Row-row and Bubba.

After Rowan learned to crawl in June, his favorite place
to go was under the table. He eventually learned
how to duck his head when he went under the chair.

Trying on Silas' hat

Opening presents on Silas' 6th birthday

Allie and Silas had to try out Silas' new Curious George sheets

Did I mention that Silas LOVES birthdays? He often pages through
our calendar, pointing out all the different birthdays in the family
(I drew balloons on them so he can easily find them). 

We got a friendly visitor one day in the backyard.
Not sure where he came from, and we haven't seen him since!

Rowan was just learning how to pull himself up to stand.
Here he's excited to use Silas' chair as a support.

Allie learned how to push Rowan in the tree swing.

Nana joined us at some of the Concert Sundaes in the park. We went
to the outdoor concerts almost every week over the summer.

Taking a nap outdoors is a great summer pastime, as Allie discovered.
