June...

Where has June gone?!

My inner California girl is tricked every year by the gray, cloudy skies of June and as I wait for summer temperatures to arrive June seems to slip away. (although, this June has been fairly decent AND we were in California for 10 days!)

Here's a little bit of life from this month!

Clara and I went to the Portland Ballet to watch our friends Annie & Hope perform. We enjoyed dinner out together and the performance. Clara's friend Natalie was there too, so the girls had fun watching the dancers together. Afterward we waited to see Hope & Annie. When they walked out of the dressing rooms doors, Clara and Natalie ran over and gave them big hugs. It was very sweet! I was thankful for a fun night out with her.

Following our night at the ballet Clara wore her ballerina dress every chance she got. She didn't hesitate to head outside to help Matt in the yard. Anytime we are at home it is her outfit of choice!

Maggie is our little eater! She has a radar for snacks & food and will crawl towards the kitchen when she sees me head in there. She continues to try a variety of foods. And now she has 2 bottom teeth that help her out! I think she was enjoying some beans here!

I just love her little smile!

 This photo is evidence that we have had some sunny days and that they've even been warm enough to get out the pool and water table. In this picture Clara is playing hairdresser. She loves to get Maggie's hair wet and pretend to cut and style it. Maggie likes the water so much that she doesn't seem to mind!

(Note the tutu under the apron!) 

Clara all dressed and ready to go pick strawberries! We picked almost 10 lbs. Hoping to head back for raspberries & blueberries!

More to come on our California trip....
