Summer Fun with Friends

Summer break has been filled with lots of family time, swimming, early mornings and brother/sister bonding time. Ellie loves having Willem around more since he is not in school. They are often in their own world, pretending to put out fires or drive trains or the most recent is that they are cats who live in our train table. It's interesting to see that Ellie is already into the imaginative play. Willem usually comes up with the ideas but she's right there with him making the animal noises or pretending to drive the firetruck.

Summer has also given us an opportunity to catch up with friends whom we don't get to see as much during the school year.
 
 

Willem's 1st trip to the circus. He said watching the elephant paint was his favorite part.

Reese and Willem are so sweet together. They are both really strong and independent in personality so they can play next to each other for a long time without talking but they love getting together. In the pool, Reese has been helping Willem gain confidence in diving and keeping his face in the water.  

Music class is always a hit at our house! The kids and Jason and I have fun and it's a great way to catch up with friends.
