summer swimming

The boys are in the pool everyday! Rory has gotten so good, half the time I'm just relaxing, watching from the swing-its fabulous!


they do a lot of skinny dipping...

saving the monarchs

We started a monarch butterfly garden. We have had over 40 caterpillars and have released 7. Often they will walk several yard to cocoon but some have stayed nearby. Now once we see the caterpillars getting big we bring them into the screened in porch so we can see the process. The boys have been loving it and we have all learned so much.

Easter

Better late than never for an Easter post. We were doing some egg hunts up until Easter that Rory never have much interest in so we were surprised at how much Rory was into finding the eggs. Maybe he knew this time they were the real deal with candy in them!
