Summer 2013

I told you I wouldn't do a very good job of keeping up to date with this blog. I have meant to but I just never seem to have a lot of photos around when I have free time to work on the blog. It is 2 days after Christmas 2013. It is a slooooow day at work.  So, I looked through my phone and decided to post whatever pictures I had in my phone. So, here we go.

 

I will start with some pictures from summer 2013. After having a lot of time off in the beginning of the year, we didn't take our usual monthly trips to cooler climates to escape the heat of the summer. Luckily it wasn't the worst summer ever. We did get out on the water as much as possible, either on boats or our kayak:



 

 

 

Ami and I did manage to escape to Chicago with some friends to celebrate our friend's 40th birthday and go to Lollapalooza. Grandmaman came to watch the girls.  I cooked up some "giant waffles" which have become a breakfast favorite, along with pancakes.

 

 

When the weather wasn't too hot, we got out on the bikes as much as possible and visited with our friends.

 

Alas, summer came to an end and it was time for Priya to start kindergarten. What a big girl. Here she is on her first day:

 

 

She has been doing great at school and really loves her class and teacher. The first few weeks were a bit awkward for us as she quickly found a best friend in one of her boy classmates Owen.  Thankfully, within a month she had lost interest and was hanging out mostly with the girls in her class. Here was Priya and Owen during happier times:
