Summer Catch-up #1: Baseball and the Beach

Do you ever why it takes so long to get these pictures posted?

Well it's been a busy summer, so let's go over it. Here we are at a Father's Day baseball game -- my first! (Go Nationals!)

As you can see, Zula does not enjoy being followed around by the paparazzi.

She wouldn't even be in the family photo. Oh well, her loss.

One thing Zula does like is climbing trees. She found a good one on our beach camping trip.

Guess who came along to the beach this year?

That's right, Heather and Zoe! It was Zoe's first time camping, so we showed her the ropes. 

For instance, this is how Zula and I travel around at the beach.

You can't go wrong with a little solo beach soccer.

And finally, Daddy and I are shown here teaching the most important lesson: how to eat ice cream.

Here's Zoe with me and Zula, trying her very first ice cream cone. (If you click on the picture to enlarge it, you can see how seriously I take this.)

I think she liked it!

My Big Sister's in Kindergarten!

Remember this shot from last August?

Now look at this one!



That's right, my big sister started kindergarten this week, and she's grown a lot since last year!

Last week, we had some old friends visit: Meg, Sammy Sam -- and we finally got to meet "baby" Finn.

As you can see, Sam is full of beans, as always. I loved being his audience.
