Summer Happenings

Story told by: Lainey

We’ve had such a great summer so far! We have some miscellaneous pictures from the last couple of weeks that I insisted that Mommy let me share.

I sure love my little brother.

I spend lots of time mimicking him. I’m sure he’ll always appreciate this.

Henry is starting to move on his own. This is not where Mommy left him, so she came back to quite a surprise.

We met Evan and his mommy at Ferdinand’s. We ate some delicious ice cream, and then watched them make the famous cheese.

After Ferdinand’s we went to the park. Moments before this picture, we were filling each other’s shoes with rocks.

There’s been time to hang out in the pool in the backyard. Stella and I had lots of fun running and jumping into the pool.

I like to demonstrate my flexibility in the pool.

On colder/rainy days, we do crafts. Mommy helped me make a caterpillar.

We’ve had friends come visit Pullman. The two oldest girls in the picture, Cassandra and Daniela, used to be in Mommy’s third grade class (and Mommy even taught Daniela in kindergarten). They moved to Canada a few years ago, but came back to visit. They wanted to meet me and Henry.

I had lots of fun running around with Catalina. She was quite the entertainer.

I can’t get enough of being outside. Stella and I love playing on my play structure.

We met Mya and her parents for the library summer reading finale in the park. It was a concert by a GREAT children’s musician. We loved it, and did lots of dancing.

We managed to get in some family yoga during the event.

Mya and I also gave Henry lots of attention. Since he can’t move, he has no say in any of this.

We got free snow cones at the summer reading finale. My first snow cone!

It was delicious!

Unfortunately it didn’t last long.

So Daddy shared his snow cone with me. What a nice daddy.

We also have many dates with friends at parks. In these pictures, we played with Evan at Klemgard Park. I had no qualms about going down this slide.

Evan was a pro at the climbing wall.

Naturally, I had to prove that I could do it, too. I did pretty darn well!

Evan and I went down this slide at least twenty times.

We’ve had some great moments in the past few weeks, and there are many more to come! We love summer!
