More Summer Fun!

Let's see....a fun but calm summer. We spent alot of time in MD, swimming, pooling it, and swim meets, and fruit picking. We are now in NJ spending time with family. So far we have gone to the boardwalk and to the beach. We are hoping for a few more days of nice weather so we can hit the beach a few more times.

As always, Morgan loves the beach. She would spend all her time in the ocean if she didn't prune up. She loves boogie boarding and playing in the sand.

Bella loved the beach, too. She even loved the water this time. She likes to stand at the water's edge and play in the water as the waves come in. She also loves playing in the sand, especially when Morgan digs a deep hole and fills it with water.

We are now waiting for Aunt Melissa to come in with the kids to visit. It will be a full house, for sure, here at Debbie's very shortly.

I will update more while I am here in NJ....but here are some pics.

Ok....way, way too long since I last updated this blog. Been so busy with summer, etsy, ebay, swimming......but making a point to post more often here :)

Let's see...school is out. I officially have a 7th grader! Morgan finished the school year up on Honor Roll....Mostly As and a few Bs. She is such a great student! With the new boundaries for next school year, she will be starting at a new school for 7th grade...right down the street from the house. Morgan started swimming up for the summer. Had her first swim meet. She shaved a few seconds off all of her times from time trials in June. Way to go Morgan!

Bella, Bella, Bella....where do I begin, my little trouble maker. Bella will be 2 in a few weeks. Cannot believe it has already been two years! What a crazy two years. Bella continues to be a handful...but we love ever bit it! We are hoping that she will be done with the terrible twos soon, though.

Bella continues to amaze us with her language. She talks in complete sentences...most often grammatically correct. The other day, she said to me "I love Bella." I said "I love Bella." She replied "I love Mommy." Tell me my heart didnt sink! She has also started singing....too cute! Greg has a video on his phone that I will post soon. Absolutely adorable. Bella loves the pool....she loves to float on her tube and pour water from cups.

So far this summer, we have hung out at the pool, gone strawberry picking, blueberry picking, and watched the 4th of July fireworks. We are planning lots of other fun, local things to do this summer...and even squeezing in a trip to NJ...

Here are some pics....
Until Next time....
