Here goes - a summer recap!
The day after Mollie got out of school for vacation we left for Bakersfield to visit Darren and Becky. While we were gone our butterfly pets started coming out of their cocoons. Here is one of them after we released them into the garden.
We celebrated Father's Day altogether as a family. People traveled from all around the country and world - amazing to get us all in one place at the same time! Greg had been traveling in Indonesia and as you can see, the girls really missed playing with him.
Great Grandpa has a good sense of humor too.
During Art Week at home we tried bubble painting. I had paint in pans with dish soap and the girls laid paper on top of the bubbles they blew up. Didn't really turn out the way I had hoped, but they had fun once they figured out now to suck the painty soap up the straw.
Mollie had been taking dance classes for 4 1/2 years and was finally old enough to take part in the Big Show. The dance studio rented the Center of Performing Arts in downtown San Jose for family and friends to enjoy. She did a beautiful ballet dance to "When You Wish Upon A Star."
