tree huggers, tap dance, alligators and adoption

I couldn't think of a cohesive title for this post and I realized that we've just been enjoying the unstructured freedom of summer! Bill and I had a big laugh that our Andrew will be liberal like his Mom and become a tree hugger...



Lily has been participating in a dance camp this week. She was sure she wanted to take ballet, but after hearing the clickety-clack of tap shoes she's hooked. We still have jazz, hip-hop and pom-pom. It'll be interesting to see what class she ends up taking in the fall!


I had to laugh that my parents saved everything, and I mean everything from my childhood. While enjoying some time at the inflatible pool they set up just for the kids, my dad brought out an old toy. It's an inflatible alligator that's over 30 years old and it still worked!


Finally, related to nothing (I tell you this is one random post), I have two friends about to embark on the trip of a lifetime. They are going to China to get their precious daughters. We couldn't be more thrilled for them and we can't wait to meet their sweeties! Safe travel friends!
