At the beginning of the month, we visited Ohio.
Shortly after getting back, I ran my first half marathon and braved the expo the day before with the kiddos at lunch/nap time. Madeleine was unsure of the gecko, and Elliott was focused on his snack.
It was the hottest June on record, so we spent a fair bit of time doing this.
Elliott discovered built-in musical instruments, and Madeleine happily joined in the (loud) fun.
Madeleine loved picking (wild) raspberries from our backyard at every opportunity. I love anything that bears fruit and requires nothing of me.
We celebrated Father's Day by inviting a favorite chef to make dinner for us and another couple. Yum is an understatement.
"I need some help, Mummy. Elliott wants to wear these." And so it begins.
We thoroughly enjoyed hosting our cousins (my first cousin and his family), including taking them to our wedding site at Gas Works Park.
Around town, Elliott was incredibly patient to adjust naps or take them on the go.
Standing on the steps where we said our vows had a lot of extra meaning given that it was the day of the (awesome) SCOTUS decision clarifying marriage.
The birthday girl jumped for joy at riding a ferry for her birthday.
Once she opened her bike helmet, she refused to take it off, even during birthday cake time.
I will never tire of this.
...or this.
Summer, must you go so fast?
Great pictures but the lttle piggies and sleeping sweetie...oh, how very dear.
