Madison's new craft desk (a very belated birthday gift) has not been neat and tidy since this picture was taken. She's scrapbooking for the fair. She's also working on some sidewalk chalk games for kids, taking saxophone lessons, working toward reading 2014 pages this summer, working on 4-H Share the Fun skit, celebrated a best friends' birthday and attended 4-H Day Camp last Friday.
Breanne has a 3/4 finished wind chime hanging in segmented pieces in the sunroom, practicing every day for the past 2 weeks for her play The Elves and Shoemaker, is doing 4-H Share the Fun skit as well, playing soccer, assisted me in taking pictures at a wedding last weekend, is also reading toward 2014 pages this summer and continues to keep the neatest and most organized room in the house.
Aliya tries to spend as much time reading with momma as she can (her goal is 1000 pages), making an American Doll House for Caroline & friends, started T-ball last week and violin lessons. I pinch myself for not taking a picture of this last night: she came down from her bath, in pjs, bathrobe and a towel wrapped around her hair…so grown up!
All the girls have been swimming! However, this cool rain water, hardly lets the water temp rise, so Derrick and I have shied away from a refreshing dip. The first weekend in June, we went to celebrate my cousin Lee's wedding in Michigan. It was a long drive, but the girls thought it was awesome to have a whole cabin for just our family and swim in the lake. Derrick and I enjoyed a canoe paddle at dusk (mosquitos included…nothing cuter than wedding attire and bug spray).
On our way home we got to see Lake Michigan. Our new mini-goal is to see all five great lakes as a family.
