It's not always about speed

Sometimes the best part of skiing is having a creamsicle. 

Bowling

We went bowling today for the first time with our friend Brian from Seattle. 

Simon used a 6 pound ball and this cool roller contraception.  He rolled three strikes and beat Dad twice.

We will play again soon. Simon had a great time.

Guess Who Stopped By for Storytime?

EILEEN!

The first day of preschool!

Yep, today was the big day and Simon LOVED it.  As we walked out to the car he declared, "That was GREAT."

He did stop playing every once in a while to keep tabs on where I was so we'll see what happens this Thursday when he goes on his own.  But for now, he's excited and happy to go again.

Veggie Racer

Tom and Mary Kay are visiting. We took them to the downtown farmers market. At the kids corner we built a veggie racer out of zucchini. They even had a racetrack to run the car down.

Birthday Cake

Simon and I made a cake for Mom's birthday. It was a lemon cake with raspberry buttercream. It took a long time and unfortunately didn't really work out.

Mom gave us points for trying.

Happy 4th of July

We had a lovely day in NH. We watched a small town parade this
morning, had lunch on the water at Sunapee Harbor, and played in the
lake before cooking hotdogs on the beach.

Simon and Gram made a fabulous cake that we had for dessert.

Happy 4th of July!
