Hi
Chowing down on Lunch!
"Delaney where is the square?" "Right Here"
Looking for the circle...
Driving her car.
Mowing the Grass with Ajdin.
Trying to catch the lighting bugs.
"Reach it"
"I missed!
It's already July? Where in the world did June go? The summer days are definately drifting away.. and so are the summer nights! Delaney and I are very lucky to have a great groups of friends. We plan several events over the summer to visit and entertain the kids! Over the last few years our little group has grown.. and the kids are multiplying quickly! Yesterday we had a swim party and the kids had a blast... and were very worn out by the end... but so were we! Delaney talked about swimming with her friends after her nap.. it's so cute to hear her name off her friends by name! Hanging out with friends is one of our favorite summer activities.

This summer Delaney has also spent many afternoons in the driveway playing with sidewalk chalk and riding on her four wheeler, in her car etc. The last few days she has started to take an interest in playing shape, color, number and ABC games that I make up with on thr driveway. She can now show me almost any shape I ask and she loves jumping on the number line and counting! She has also finally learned to move her car on her own and enjoys dancing to the "tunes" as she drives it around!

This summer we have also really enjoyed our summer nights.. usually spent outside sitting and talking to our neighbors while the kids run around getting dirty and wearing themselves out! Last night we took Ajdin his birthday present.. a bubble blowing lawn mower.. but when we bought it we thought twice and bought Delaney one too... we were sure having just one might cause some trouble.... it turned out to be a great idea.... the kids mowed and mowed the lawns last night! The daddies were just wishing they actually CUT the grass!

The kids have really gotten into chasing lighning bugs this summer as well. Watching them brings back so many memories from my chidlhood! I tried to capture their pursuit in some pictures... but wasn't too successful!
Hoping the summer slows down a little... it's my favorite time of the year!
