Busy June Part 1
What have we been up to this summer? PHEW! So much! I have filled our June with classes, trips, playgroups, and on and on. Have to say- I am actually looking forward to a slow, calm July! My head has been spinning all month shuttling the kids all over the place. Keira (and mommy) are taking gymnastics, dance, and art. Quinn and Keira are swimming. Today we had our next to last gymnastics class and Keira is finally comfortable and confident (of course at the end). We went and had coffee and chocolate milk (and a cookie) this morning before class so that may have helped! She also absolutely loves her art class which is set up in a very free choice, yet organized environment- such creative ideas. We have many amazing Keira originals hanging all over our house! Quinn is a little fish and has no fear of the water! He back floats, kicks his feet, and sticks his head all the way under the water. Next week I’m going to get some pictures of the kids in action in their classes- but for now, here’s us taking a park break (notice Keira’s new tongue sticking out quirk). She also loves helping me with the dishes!

Down on the Farmstead
Quinn's new favorite food...
It's not grapes! A little crunchy!
Keira stays neat and tidy playing beside the sandbox- she refuses to get in! They are only serving sand today.
Estimated time to complete setup of playset... (4-8 hours according to directions) ACTUAL time it took... 17 1/2 hours! We kept Daddy busy building most of the weekend.

Pictures of completed set coming soon!
Daddy took a break from building Sunday and we all headed to a farmstead- REAL cows, goats, bunnies, pigs, and sheep! It was a great time! http://www.opkansas.org/_Vis/Farmstead/

Happy ONE
We celebrated Quinn’s first birthday on Saturday with family and friends. The weather was absolutely beautiful and Quinn had so much fun on his big day! He was so exhausted by the end of his party that after the cake it was straight into the bath and then bedtime.
I still can’t believe what a little man he is becoming. This has been the fastest year yet! I had thought that after Quinn turned one, I might get that baby itch back again- NOPE! I feel so content and I am finally sort of starting to catch up on the lack of sleep from the past two years. The best part is that many of my one child friends are now entering into the second child on the way (or trying) time. I guess my Mommy’s Margarita Friday playgroup might start getting a little lonely- or I’ll be the only tipsy mommy anyway! Soon- oh so soon- I will have the dream of mini playgroup where my Irish twins will play, together, for more than 2 minutes- giving me “all this time” to do things like take a shower and eat sitting down.
