Our Friend Cathy

What a weekend! We spent one overnight at out friend Cathy's house and it was so incredible. Swimming in her pond, visiting baby goats, riding our bikes on dirt roads and finding gigantic queen anne's lace. It was just one overnight, but it was the most fun and relaxing weekend we have had in forever. Anna even said it was the best night of sleep she had in 4 years!

Monkey Bars

Big Milestone!
Anders successfully took himself across the monkey bars last week!
We happened to find a cute small playground that had a set of monkey bars that were not too far from the ground, making the task a little bit easier to manage.
It was thrilling to say the least. The sheer joy about accomplishing something so hard, so tricky was so cool to watch. It happened on July 17th...it's sort of like the way I felt on the day he took his first steps!

July 4th in Our Neighborhood

              
A bit after the 4th, but it has been busy lately and I haven't had a second to post anything. But each year we have a fabulous neighborhood children's parade!

Champlain 400 Parade

July has been a very rainy month! But it hasn't dampened our spirits. In this series of photo's you will see some shots from a big parade that went right down Main Street. IT WAS POURING!!! These photo's were from the photo gallery of the Free Press, and if you look in photo number three you will see Anders, Jakob and I right in the center, all wearing yellow rain coats. I don't think we have ever been so wet before. Afterwards we treked home and had warm maple milk and cookies! It was such a blast!
