Tuesday

Taking Bip to the park

Sitting Up!

Two blueberries

and one Calvin James

"EeEes"

Ansy came to give Calvin a birthday hug and to snuggle Arabella. We showed her Ithaca's green and waterfalls and summer warmth.







She's such a sparkle

Bip

Three!

Sooo big!
Water fountains
with friends


YES!!!

This homemade banana bread disguised as a firetruck birthday cake quickly became dismantled upon arrival at the park. Calvin and his buddies ate up all the sirens faster than I could snap a photo.





His kind soul has changed our definition of the word joy.

Summer Vacation

We took a road trip through New England for a week stopping to visit friends and family, then traveled down to Hilton Head to dip our souls in the sea and celebrate summer with the family.

Grandma

Oh!

The Jidge

We call her Baby Bunting. "Hello Bunting," we say. She had quite the charming time summering in The Berkshires, sunbathing by the pool in the Carolinas.
