Summer Fun

There is so much to do in the summertime. We have enjoyed our neighborhood pool just about everyday and have made it to the beach twice this year! The girls rode in Pappy's boat for the first time and he took us to Capers Island to spend the day. What a treat!! Grace attended "Kids Kamp" last week and had a great time learning about the Bible. She was sad to see it end. I was in charge of pre-school crafts, so I was perfectly fine with it only lasting one week. It was a great week, though. Enjoy the pictures...

We picked blueberries today, yum yum!

Last month we picked strawberries

Happy Father's Day to a wonderful Dad who loves his daughters very much (notice they are wearing blue...not pink!)

Our New Kitten

After lots of begging and pleading, Ben finally let Grace and I have a kitty. He was rescued from a puddle in Grandma Hough's yard and being that Grandma already has four cats, we were able to convince Ben that Grace was ready for the responsibility of taking care of a pet. She promised to feed it every day, and so far, so good! We named him "Puddles". He was only 6-7 weeks old when we got him. Puddles has been the center of the girls' attention ever since. He is so much fun and loves to play. Although, he knows to take a nap when Abigail naps. His favorite daytime cat nap spot it under Abigail's bed where all the baby blankets are stored. At night he usually sleeps in our Bed, although he has slept with Grace a few nights. He usually ends up waking her up pouncing on her feet under the blanket. Ben hopes to make Puddles a squirrel catcher and has rigged an old fishing pole with a squirrel tail and bell that he casts and the cat chases (this toy is not allowed in the house...gross).  

This is Puddles. Everything is a toy!

Abigail holds Puddles nonstop. He is a very patient cat.

I love this picture.

This is another favorite napping spot. He climbs from the bed to get into the doll house.
