Pumpkin Time!

'Cause they're cute

Grayson did a 2nd grade book report on The Hobbit and dressed up as Gandolf for his book report presentation.

She really sleeps like this.

 A sweet older woman I met in Belgium, Marie Christine, still writes me letters in French and has started knitting for our kids.  She knitted this adorable sweater for Ella.

These socks were also knitted by Marie Christine.

July 4, 2012

This 4th of July we had such a fun family day with no plans, beautiful warm weather, and our kiddos who love a holiday.  First we headed to the playground.

Three kids swinging at once!

Then hotdogs and burgers at George's (and chicken for me) followed by yummy gelato!

For dinner we had cheese fondue with lots of fruit and veggies (how very American) followed by home grown fireworks.  It was perfect.  As I type this the kids have been asleep for nearly two hours, and the "big" fireworks from the Druid Hills Golf Club are just now going off.

It's 105 degrees outside

A heat wave is passing through Atlanta and we are breaking all the records. At 105 degrees it is unbearable outside. But the kids have to get out their wiggles anyway.
