End of Summer, Closing In on Year Three

 As we approach the Equinox this week, I must say, it's been a fabulous summer!! Edythe is amazingly different than last year at this time and the realization that time waits for no man sinks in every day.  We are planning on some pre-school starting in January...watch out world..here comes our lil' school girl!! Enjoy some pics from the last month or so.

Where you can find Edythe alot of the time...talking to that girl in the mirror!

28 Months Y'all

Well, Summer is officially winding down even though we have almost two more months of heat, wishing for rain and remembering about fall.  The garden did much better than last year and this week I've been on Peach Patrol!!  Only one flat left!!  Matthew started back to school so we are readjusting to that.  Edythe is super fighting the Nap and being an overall Genuine Critter!!  We had a lovely summer and are now looking forward to changing light, a certain foreign crispness in the air and maybe some pumpkin patches!!

You know it's hard out here for a cakes!!!!!!

Big Girl Cakes is Two and a Half!

June has been just as busy as May and time is flying by.  Edythe is voraciously taking in books and reading, reading, reading.  She is very into calling herself and me different names.  Lots of times I am Kate and she is Zora, lately I am her Aunt Hannah and she is her cousin Jackson.  Yesterday Bear Bear was Jackson!! She has been helping Daddy work outside and painting at her easel.  We are having a grand time and hope you all are as well.

So the new game around here is seeing what we'll find when we get goose up from her nap..here are some highlights!!

This is my mothers day picture?? See what I mean about not participating!!

I know she didn't want to leave the party at the lake..she didn't need a nap..that's why this happened two seconds into the drive home!!

Here we are on Cinco de Mayo.

Not too many pics this month because Someone doesn't want to take pictures anymore..who's that you say?  Oh yes, it's Dora.  Dora Dean.  Edythe Estelle Maxine Dean is old news.  Yes, it's after That Dora.    We are looking forward to Daddy getting off work in the early afternoon after summer school instead of 7 pm like he has been.  Outdoor projects here we come!!
May is such a busy month and I will be looking forward to June.  Hope all you mama's out there had a good Mother's Day!! We miss you all and wish you an abundant summer!!
