 "A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013."

Lucy: is right at home in her element outside and in the water. She hopped from boulder to boulder and left with scraped knees and a smile on her face.

Gray: spent the morning happily throwing and then retrieving little sticks into the water. He seems to be a water lover just like his sister and his momma.

"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013."

Lucy:In her happy place. Her favorite thing to do this summer so far is just to sing while she sings. Carry on sweet girl, carry on =)

Gray: Still with his favorite mosquito net. 

Everything is so lush and green in our yard right now. It's that great time of year somewhere in between spring and summer when we still have occasional breaks from the humidity.

"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013."

Lucy: Began her long awaited Ballet/Dance lessons this week. She wasn't so excited about the  cheesy sing-along songs at the beginning of class- she just wanted to get right down to ballet business. 

Gray: This poor guy has been miserable with teething for weeks. 

Saturday

Today was so, so good.

I made a trip to the shop to deliver new pieces.

Nick and the kids had "adventure" morning.

On the way home from the shop I stopped by Target and snagged this sheet set in lovely gray check. When I saw they'd gone on sale I just couldn't resist.

We sold our old lawn mower in a seamless and haggle-free Craig's List transaction.

We spent the rest of our day at a beautiful wedding where Lucy boogied her little tush off.

Today was a good day.

The end.

"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013."

Lucy: Doesn't seem to mind the thorns on the rose bush one bit because I still catch her picking them constantly. Who could blame a girl?

Gray: The green butterfly net is his constant companion outdoors. Take it away from him at your own risk.

"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013."

Lucy: Smitten with her new doll she named "Clara."

Gray: Didn't quite make it to his crib before crashing.
