and friends
(Even Mommy and Daddy got out with some of THEIR friends, one night!)
Going out to breakfast
and checking out the new, local farm. It's less than a mile from us, and the girls are already very attached to the chickens, horses, goats, and pigs.
The garden store is another local favorite
(Aspen is vigorously signing "FISH!")
Where we procured some necessary makings for a fairy garden.
Sabine is big into fairies these days. She loves checking out books from the Rainbow Fairies series at the library, she lost another tooth (third one on the bottom, and the top two are loose) and got another gold coin from the tooth fairy, and there has been some evidence of fairy activity in her garden. Ask her about it, sometime, she'd be happy to tell you.
We are also quickly becoming regulars at our fabulous, new local bakery. Both girls enjoy their Kouign Amanns and muffins very much.
We have also been "baking" at home--although this particular cake, for cousin H's birthday, actually didn't require any baking. We had fun carving and decorating a watermelon!
We took Daddy to the Butterfly Pavillion one weekend
...and it was humid but fun!
They even had some new play structures.
Aspen is showing more interest in doll babies these days
and her vocabulary is taking off. I would guess she has several dozen words, at this point, with more attempts daily. Some sound very familiar, so the signs have come in extremely helpful, as supplement when "mawn-mom" can mean "Grandmom," "lawnmower," "Elmo," or "meow meow." (All of which are extremely important in Aspen's world, right now.) "Bo-pul" can be "Opal," "Bumbo," "pepper," or "helicopter." (As in, "bopbopbopbopbop"). There are tons more, and she likes to greet people with a drawn-out "Hiiiiiiii!" and wave. She seems pretty social, much like big sister, and enjoys being outside, especially with big sister. Fortunately, summer is a good time for that!
