Summer Fun

Our favorite catcher!

Going out to dinner photo shoot!

 

 

 A visit to the petting zoo in Berlin is one of Kiera's

favorite outings!

Our neighbor, Kate, got a new puppy! Meet

Sir Bennington of Canterbury, aka Benni

Spray painting new classroom decor...a simple reminder to "Be Kind!"

Mini Vacay with Mimi and Papa

Kiera went on a mini summer vacay again this year with Mimi and Papa. They went to Kentucky to visit Mammoth Cave. They made a pit stop in Cincinnati to see the Indians play the Reds...Go Tribe!

Sleeping beauty!

Farm Updates

We had a stamped concrete patio poured

on the bank wall of the barn.

 Grandpa helped us to get all of the fishing poles

untangled and repaired.

 To keep the poles in good working order, we 

installed a rack for them!

 We got a dishwasher...

 ...and a microwave!

Our Favorite Shoregal

Kiera's softball coach is a graphic designer by day...isn't this photo great?

Blueberries!

The end of June marks blueberry picking time and 

this year's crop did not disappoint! Found a new fave

blueberry muffin recipe...Paula Dean's! 

Cousin Day at the Farm

We were thrilled to have our cousins visit the farm!

It was a HOT day, but we still had a great time...hanging

out in the cabin, picking blueberries and touring the farm.

 It was Bean's birthday! 

 B loved the golf cart

 These two took a break in the shade

 Brooke and Be-ah!

 Group shot! Thanks for being photographer, Michelle!

These two are smitten with each other! It's the exact way 

their moms (Michelle and I) felt about each other growing up!

So fun to see the cousin love continue with the next generation

of girls! 

Happy Independence Day!

Bay Days was back in town for the 4th of July holiday! 

Kiera and her neighborhood friends had fun riding rides, 

playing games and eating funnel cakes and slushes. We also

went to the pool and watched the fireworks.

Games!

Waiting for the fireworks to begin

 Kiera is living her best life...a blow up dolphin 

(a prize from a dart game at Bay Days), light up 

bike wheels (Thanks Em!) and watching the fire

works with the neighbors!

Red and blue suit for a 4th of July swim! Thanks to 

Nanny Jane for outfitting Kiera for the pool each year

with birthday swim suits!
