Back yard

It was a perfect morning for a walk around the neighborhood. Valencia brought a bag along to collect samples on her nature walk.

Rainy day playhouse

Rainy day rainbow

The round one is a pizza she made for the birds because they get hungry.

Snake on the stairs

Fun family day

Spent most of the day at home cleaning and doing laundry.

Manchester United

Date day before the new baby. Our Valencia stayed home but Antonio Valencia was on the pitch. Rooney scored twice and United won the game. Is the new baby going to have the same name as a footballer??

So sad

Valencia can really put her sad face on and go off and pout when she doesn't get her way. Lucky for us Auntie Ryanne was here to pick up the sad little pieces.

Fairy gardens & princess castles

How can I go to sleep

When this elephant keeps attacking me.

Book group lunch

No one reads any of the books anymore but they still get together once a month. Valencia has fun with the twins. Here she is with Addie, Evan not shown.

Don't worry it's just me

It's hot out

It was warm enough this evening for Valencia to play in the rain.

More family

Valencia got to spend the day with her Aunt Ryanne. I'm not sure what all they did but Valencia had a great time and passed out as soon as she got home.

Happy Birthday Charlie

Charlie took Valencia to the aquarium for his birthday today. They had a great time.

Gone fishing

Movie night

With popcorn

Brushing her teeth

abc

Valencia is getting pretty good with her letters and numbers.

Tea

She's growing up very fast these days.

Fun day

Elin and Atticus head back to Boston tomorrow so Valencia wanted to take them to her favorite place, the farm.

3 year check up

Everything looks good according to the doc. Then dinner with Elin and company.

Papa day

I'm a little under the weather today so Valencia took full advantage by pulling out all of her toys and playing with them for about two seconds.

Don't go Gee Gee

Were sad to see Gee Gee head back home already and lucky Elin and Atticus are here for a few more days.

Sad day

Abbot is in Heaven now. Valencia told him "it's ok boy boy the angels will come get you and you can take an airplane to Heaven" we're still not sure if she understands that he is gone and haven't been able to get the words out to fully explain it to her. We love you Abbot.

Summer fun

Some pictures from the last few days. Valencia already misses Laz and Carmen, is excited to play more with Elin and thinks we should name the baby Atticus.
