Adventuring Abroad: Summer days at home

Between all of our travels, we had a nice summer in England as well! Summer is by far the best time of year here -- nice temperatures with highs in the low 70s most days and much less rain. We miss air conditioning occasionally (especially when Paul's allergies are aggravated by the pollen floating in our open windows) but there were only a couple of hot days this year. We found some fun ways to entertain ourselves at the house and locally -- I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Forgive the randomness and enjoy the cuteness :)

Paul worked from home this summer, so we had occasional visits to his "office" upstairs. We think he mostly enjoyed them.

"Helping" Daddy organize baseball cards

Learning how to use a pencil "sharper"

Playing in the sprinkler was less fun that it sounded, Mom

I prefer to read on the blanket, thanks

Playing in the "paddling pool" at our friends' house was fun though!

Playing with my new stamp kit

Watching muffins rise, still wearing baking hat & apron of course

First day of preschool!

Happy Fourth of July! She wore this outfit to school and was suspiciously wearing new clothes later on (the teachers said she got wet, but we wonder if they are still sore over 1776).
