Big boy
August is 18 months old! He rang in this momentous occasion by beginning to tromp around in the backyard all day, digging in the mud whenever possible. What a boy!

Walking
A couple weeks ago we took what I thought would be a quick "jaunt" to downtown Cary to get stamps at the local post office and mail Marielles 5th birthday invitations! After a leisurely walk there, periodically stopping to pick flowers and watch the birds that have come home for spring, we were all tired and needy for some energy for the long walk home!
My solution? Ice cream. Not just any ice cream, mind you. Ice-cream from the old fashioned soda fountain and pharmacy called Ashworths. It was just what everyone needed. Plus, they gave us balloons!

I'm officially in the 21st century!
I finally learned to post a video on the blog!
In january, Marielle began nightly violin lessons with her dad! She looks forward to them all day, and as you might imagine, Philip is an excellent teacher; very patient and encouraging. Enjoy this video of one her very first lessons. I apologize in advance for my annoying commentary! The girls have watched this on endless repeat for months now, so I am newly insecure at the sound of my voice!

This morning as Marielle unloads the dishwasher, she is having trouble getting a bowl out that is tightly wedged, and grunting about it:
Me (coyly): "Are you a drama queen?"
Marielle (matter-of-factly): "No, I'm just a princess."
A picture of the "princess" in the princess costume she picked out this morning (note the partially-covered, yellow Big-Bird unitard she's sporting):
And one of Geneveive, just because she felt like saying cheese too:

Summer Recap
Boy, its been a long time since I've posted any pictures or stories of my dear ones. . . We have been busy growing three kiddos over here! To give you a taste of just how they've grown I'll give you a few stats:
-Eve grew out of TWO shoe-sizes in two months. (Thank goodness, because she really needed a growth spurt!)
-August grew 3 pounds in 2 months, which puts him (today) at a hefty fighting-weight of 20 pounds flat! I am particularly proud of this one considering his weight was the 3rd percentile at 9 months old, and has now inched his way into the 10th. Its all the scrambled eggs, avocados, oatmeal and sweet potatoes he's been eating these days.
-How has Marielle grown, you ask? She continues to grow like a weed (the most rapid of all 3 kids), and she learned both how to swim and how to pump her legs on a swing this summer! I would say that its my Marielle who has truly blossomed this summer. She vacillates pretty fluidly between a little lady with impeccable manners, to a bare-footed and sweaty nature-lover who can spend hours outside collecting leaves, insects, picking flowers and watching butterflies. Simply put, I adore having a four-and-a-half year old!
