Much Better

Uh, remember this?


Yeah, I didn't love that color-at. all.


So I repainted my bedroom. And my lamps still play nice with the wall color.
It's Moonshine from Benjamin Moore.
And I am kind of in love with it :)
Now onto bedding and curtains and art....

Buckled

Amanda and her sisters were jumping from their swings and Amanda's landing didn't go so well. Turns out she broke her wrist.
I took this photo the morning after we spent 6 hours in the ER where they put a temporary splint on her arm.


The cast went on a few days later, after the swelling went down. Obviously wearing a cast is a big adjustment. It's much worse beings it's summer time and all she wants to do is play in the water :(

She has what is called a buckle fracture. And there's a possibility she'll get the cast off in a few weeks and get by with a removable splint. We'll see...

Woodland Park Zoo


Charlotte as navigator. She wasn't feeling very well, and spent most of the day in the stroller :(
Cole calling to the hippos.


Amanda comparing her hand to a lion's paw print.
We saw the elephants get their baths.
Emma sitting in a wolf's den.
The orangutans were among our favorites.

Happy Birthday Charlotte!

It's hard for me to believe, but Charlotte is 5 years old now!
She is growing up so fast, and can not wait to attend kindergarten in the fall.
Charlotte had a very happy birthday with her friends and family. Thanks for celebrating with us!

Summer Mantel

Mid June I changed up the mantel for summer.
I displayed some of our shell+sand collections.
