June 2012

I'm having a difficult time keeping up with my blog during these wonderful but busy summer months.  We have been taking a much needed relaxing break from homeschooling but the days seem to be flying by.  June was a fun month as Nicholas played Little League and his team won the 8 yr old rookie league tournament.  Our boy was so overcome with emotion......he cried and cried tears of joy when his team won.  It was such a memorable experience for our whole family.

The girls continue to grow and thrive.  Cora turned 7 months old on June 3 and she continues to be such a joy.  Mae and Ella have been busy helping with our garden and doing lots of nature exploring.  It seems that whatever Ella is into these days, Mae is close at hand.....digging for worms, trying to catch butterflies, unearthing roly-polies, you name it. They are so fun to watch together.

June 3--Ready for church 

Ella and Cora

June 3--Cora is 7 months old!!  Juicy!

June 4--Our first attempt at solid foods.  We have since learned that she wants to do it all herself.  She grabs the spoon and sucks off the food.....then gives the spoon a toss.....splattering wet baby food everywhere. 

June 9--Niko playing baseball.  I love this picture.  

My heart sings when I look at these pudgy little baby feet.

June 16--Niko with his championship trophy.  One proud boy!
