Well, the Girls have been busy this Summer, which has kept the blogs to a virtual stand still. However, for good reasons as Caroline and Victoria have had a great time playing at the community pool, playing on the "parque" in our backyard, swimming lessons, spending the 4th in MI (Girls pronounce it Meshico, almost like Mexico...hmmmm) and most recently attending Summer Camp where they were able to ride their first School Bus on a field trip.....all in preparation for them to start Pre-School in a couple weeks at Mary Seat of Wisdom in Park Ridge. Here are some recent shots of the Girls.

| The Fam sitting outside the lakehouse we rented on Suttons Bay. Pure Michigan, as they say. |
 |
| We were loaded with the legal and non-legal fireworks for the 4th of July. Here Victoria, and Caroline below, enjoy one of several sparklers. Years past the Girls were much more skiddish with the sounds and sights of fireworks, but they love it now. |

| Papa giving V and C "one more time" so they can say hi to Mama w/ the camera. |
 |
| Like the blog, it is usually One After the Other. |
 |
| The 4th of July Crew. The Girls had a blast playing with all of the other kids and the whole week went down with virtually no meltdowns. |

 |
| The Girls and Papa out for a tube ride. C is definitely the thrill seeker in the family, but Victoria may be catching the bug. |
