Summer is for Mermaids!



Dear Maya and Emi,

This may end up being a couple posts in one as mommy has lots to share about what we've been up to, plus a little something about someone turning FIVE! Hold on to your hats because I've got a lot to share tonight!

Now that it's summer vacation, Maya, your summer recreation program has started! You've been spending your days climbing trees, creating pulley systems to suspend your treasures from the trees, and swimming in the creek. Plus there are weekly field trips. Plus there guest teachers and planned activities. You come home every day dirty and tired OUT from playing hard with your friends. It's such a great program!




We've also had a few play dates with your friends, been swimming in the school pool several times, had a yard sale, packed to move to a new house nearby(!), celebrated mommy's birthday, and had a visit from Grandpa and Lori and their new doggy Dozer! Whew, just typing that tired me out!




And then, most importantly, we celebrated your FIFTH BIRTHDAY, Emi! You chose a mermaid theme but it was the most slapdash birthday party we've had so far since the move-in date for our new home was the very next day. We ordered a plain cake to decorate together, mommy dug out some old tulle and seashells to throw a 'wave' up on the wall, and we ordered pizza and wings. You opened some awesome gifts and had so much fun basking in the love of family!







 



Okay, mommy just decided that I'm going to do a second post for your year recap, Emi, as I can't fit more in here. Look for that post tomorrow, my sweet! Love you both!
