Everyday Summer 2015

A quick update on the kiddos so I remember the everyday of the summer of 2015:)

Luke

• is loving mad libs and thinks they are hilarious!
• is a busy guy with a variety of sports and camps: track, basketball, baseball.  His first time as a camper at Pine Haven Christian Assembly is coming up in August too.
• got to spend 5 days with several of his cousins and gets to see them again this weekend.
• is loving Harry Potter.  Brent just finished reading him the fourth book so they watched the movie together this weekend.  He liked the book better:)
• got to try his hand at pitching in his baseball game last night.  He's also adjusting to kids pitching to him as a batter as they transition from the pitching machine.  He did get hit in the butt once by a pitch;)

Nora

• is still loving walks with mom in the stroller although her growing independence is showing:
• One one walk, she continuously told me that we were lost...trust me, we've never been lost
• She often likes to walk "with her feet" (aka not ride in the stroller) at the beginning and end of our walks.  The other day she ran for more than half a mile before she got in the stroller! 
• is hating baths all of a sudden...I think it's just a control thing, not the actual baths.  Either way, it's been interesting...
• is not a fan of bugs and often has nightmares that there are bugs on her.
• is not a fan of fireworks or thunder. 
• loves strawberries and had a couple chances to go strawberry picking with Papa and Gma.
• likes using her fine motor skills on crafts, tracing letters/numbers, coloring, etc.
• is getting ready to turn three, but reminds us daily that she's still two.  
• loves Mickey, Donald, Goofy: Three Musketeers, the story (from) and movie.
• has noticed that if she sits on her butt in a chair at our kitchen table that she can actually see her food (she used to sit on her knees).  She's pretty proud too:)
