Two generations of moms. Romey, Odessa, and Leiden with Iulie.
Day one. Little sister arrives.
Day one visit required some mac and cheese and chicken nugget sustenance. Not to mention a breakfast of captain crunch (tell no one).
This time we remembered to bring the rose we made.
Little brother will be loved by all.

returning from a walk
Iulie has spent lots of time with us this summer. Something that we cherish. She is all farm girl, taking walks, picking vegetables in the garden, visiting the chickens, and playing with the dogs.
Iulie named the poulets: marshmallow, chocolate, graham and cracker.
We are reading The Book of Three together this summer.
Goofball.
But under the soon to be second grader is a little girl.

Life goes on, especially if you are a little girl. We celebrated Iulie’s birthday in the kitchen. But first some quality time with bubbie recharging batteries.
The morning came bright and early.
After presents at home we headed over to see great grandma and share some homemade strawberry cake.

It was very early, but the Christmooses were playing a game of chess. There was prep to be done (dressing the beast) during which blueberry muffins were whipped up. Moonie had the best idea.
When everyone had gathered, it was present unwrapping time. Pretty hilarious that the presents had been wrapped for less than 24 hours.
Of course there was a huge Lego set (as has become the tradition). This year it was the Eiffel Tower.
The Legos took well over four days of real effort to build.
Kilt by the tree.
Around 2, the roast was done to perfection with help from the new bluetooth thermometer. Excellent tech.
And it was time to carve the roast beast.
Odessa and Iulie joined us for dinner and stayed for movie night. All of the kids in one place! Very nice indeed.

Iulie has grown, and so have her zinias. Last time we checked, they were about two inches tall.
The tree has grown too.
Of course we walked. Twice, in fact.
The dogs were hosed off and toweled “dry.”
Bubbie had some fun things to do.
There were fresh eggs (and lots of them). 18!
And, as always, there was the rope for swinging.
Up high.
Here they come.
Mama!
Maybe always wants in on the action.

Much fun was had on the pretend farm. Lets see. We visited the tree Now taller than iulie).
We walked by the river with the crazy dogs.
We visited the baby zinias in the garden and picked a few early veggies.
We run through the sprinkler on the patio (for some definitions of we).
And we discovered the old swing rope out back.
Much fun was had.
