And In Other News

So I realize we've been keeping up with trips and large events, but I've kind of been remiss on blogging about our day-to-day lives this summer. Here's the recap in one post. We've spent lots of time with friends











And family




(Checking out our new Mazda!)

Sabine went to preschool camp this summer, for a taste of what's to come this fall. She loved it, and made some new friends, who will be in her class. Here's her picture on the first day.



She also tasted her first donut this summer.



We've seen any number of beautiful rainbows with all the rain we got in June and July.



And tasted the fruits (or veggies, rather) of our moderate labor. The carrots from our container garden are puny but tasty.



And we made time for painting. (And coloring, and cloud dough.)





We also just celebrated Grandmom's birthday.



Sabine helped make the cake--there were plenty of sprinkles!



And speaking of birthdays, the biggest news of the summer is:



Sabine's going to be a big sister! And she's thrilled, happily.
