Daddy's birthday and more planning

 We celebrated my husband's birthday at my parents' house on Saturday. Food and football.

Hands full of watermelon.

 Taven testing out his new (hand me down) bike that his buddy Aidan gave him.

 We know fall is near when we can start a cicada "skin" collection.

To thank Aidan for the bike we made him a friendship bracelet.

 Taven wrote a little note.

 And we stuck it in the mail!

We have also been busy making Rainbow Warrior badges for our friends.

 My husband's actual birthday was Monday. I really love the picture Naia drew for him of our family.

Here they are waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Eaden has been working on crossing her eyes.

 Mirek had a hard time patiently waiting for the cake.

 Here is a video of the surprise!

 I found some colored sand while cleaning on top of the book case and we decided to use it up.

 I am still working on our schedule and rhythm, revising and editing as needed.
