Signs of Summer

Want a closer look?

This little girl takes after her mother. In highschool I was nicknamed "mexi feet" I never knew for sure, but I think everyone was jealous.

We spend more time with friends and the days are so much longer!

You know, I think a leaky sand bucket is a pretty good indication that we've crossed over from frugal to just plan CHEAP.

In the northwest, it is common to see a person in sandals, shorts (or in Molly's case, always a skirt) and a furry coat. We think:  "maybe if I wear summer clothes, it will feel like summer outside. But it probably won't, so I'll wear my coat."

This is Molly's rock lady (the rock to the left is her purse. -obviously.)

Boys are different from us. Can you see the simple thoughts in their heads? ..I can.

light.

water.

I grin because there is a boy on my shoulders.

Don't judge me. I can't remember why he was wearing this outfit, but I feel certain I had a great excuse.

Another trip to the lake, don't forget your jackets.

Why get dressed? It's SUMMER!

This is Levi's typical position at the front window staring longingly out at his sisters riding bikes and scooters in the front.

Eva's organic jewelry. She's going to set up a booth at the end of our lane. These past 7 years or so, she seemed so aimless in her occupational pursuits. Her father and I were a little worried. But I think she's finally found her callling. We're so proud.
