The Beginning (of Summer, that is...)

Ellie had her last day of school on Thursday the 30th.  Hurray!  Summer has begun!
 Ellie's first day of first grade, and last day of first grade.  My, they grow a whole lot in 9 months.

Unfortunately, we haven't been able to play like we want to because Ellie got a parting gift:  a nasty cold.  I suspect strep throat.  Lovely.

Here are some random photos from the last few days:

 Powdered donuts for the last day of school.
 Handsome, handsome boy.

We finally got a load of sand for our newly built sandbox. 
 Everett has lived there ever since.

On Saturday morning I went to run some errands and came home to the smell of frying chicken.  Nick proclaimed that he was preparing to take us on a picnic up the canyon.  What a great idea, my normally not very spontaneous husband!


 This girl has been a serious momma's girl lately.  I'm guessing that she senses change a-brewin'. Poor baby is about to have her cradle rocked right out of the tree.



Good times.

Post edit:  Nope, not strep.  Just a viral infection that has to run it's course.  She's miserable, but not too miserable, all snuggled up in her bed watching a movie.  There are some benefits to being sick.
