Foster and Molly Little: July 2013

Wow...it's been a hot one this summer! Although the weather makes things drag, the summer seems to be flying by! We've celebrated both Foster's and Molly's birthday in May and June. Foster had a fun birthday party with friends at a playground and Molly had a quiet celebration with just the family (cupcakes of course). Their "school" year finished in May and now they are home with a sitter for the summer. June was a very busy month for Chris with conferences in Boston and Washington DC which straddled a trip to Williamstown for our 15th college reunion. We had a spectacular time, mostly due to the fact that Dad and Linda watched the kids that weekend. Thank you!! We also got dressed up for cousin Cameron's wedding, which was a beautiful event. June wrapped up for Chris with a trip to Montana for the men's yearly fishing trip. While he was there, I decided on an impromptu long weekend to the NJ shore. It was exhausting alone, but much more fun than spending a 3-day weekend at home without Chris! Unfortunately, Molly managed to bring a little bit of the beach back with her, and ended up needing a surgeon to cut out a very little piece of glass from her foot which had traveled up near her bone. Almost completely resolved at this point, but an exciting 24 hours. Likely not our last trip to the ER with her!

To stay cool, we've been spending a TON of time at the pool, eating popsicles, painting with water on the walkway, and going to indoor museums, libraries, and play dates. I got a break from the heat by escaping to Victoria on Vancouver Island with mom for a veterinary conference. We had an incredible time walking, kayaking, exploring, eating, drinking, and enjoying the time together.

The pictures are all jumbled...sorry!
