meet three year old trent.

we are not convinced

that our kid is the smartest.

the fastest.

 or a future teeball star.

he is however.

hysterically unique. loves to have fun. and knows how to dress.

these days he is all about

being a motorcycle fireman when he grows up.

muffins. big boy underwear. break dancing.

and playing the harmonica.

now as for the harmonica thing...

he's onto something.

one man show.

the duo.

little I love you #237

mr. happylunchfaceman.

now back to celebrating our last few days of summer...

happy friday.

life's about picking a good seat. a good snack. and good company.

happy friday ya'll.

tales from the city pool.

last week we started swimming lessons.

we mastered the jump in.

and the duck under.

the kick kick pull pull and the wake up starfish!

and his proudest skill.

summer baby.

the past few summers have brought me babies.

the season. the smells. the sights. 

it is to me all things baby.

and as a little part of me deeply misses that huge watermelon tummy.

and sweet smell of a newborns skin.

I am so happy to announce our family's 

summer baby.

picked yesterday at 3:40 from our very own garden.

weighing in at 9 lbs. 5 oz.

I am one proud mama.

summer reading list.

this child loves books.

I dont know where he gets it from.

a dad that is always reading. at least two books.

and a kindergarten teacher for a mom.

needless to say we have collected quite a mass of great books.

below is a list of our current favorites we treasure. 

and read at nap. and bed.

and anywhere else between. at least once.
