Photos galore!

I feel like the days are same ol', but then I look through my phone and it's obvious we've been having tons of fun this month! There's a bunch here, feel free to skim ;)

Nursing his Bobby while shooting off arrows on the bow Henri made him

This is high entertainment for them; watching the printer work. 

Only got 2 peonies this year, but they were beauties

Weeeeee!!!

I now have sriracha with me at all times in my purse. Hurray for travel size!

Sigh. The threenager stage is basically upon us. Just barely got out of it with Hen. I'm not sure we can survive another 2 years of this....

....but he can still be stinkin' cute! Library has a great dress up collection

Last walk with the beloved Sabah before she headed back to Egypt for a family wedding. We're looking forward to having her back soon!

Henri claimed this pretty much as soon as it went up

Our neighbor introduced me to Asian animal crackers. Adorable, and they have a green tea goo inside that's delectable. 

Swim googles!

A fun park with friends

We went to another Audubon center. And it poured within minutes of setting out on our walk. 

It was a gorgeous walk though! We'll go back soon

Henri got her reading list and math workbook for summer homework and has been enthusiastically  working through them. Hope this love continues for the next 13 years at least!

I was going to get back off coffee since I felt better when I wasn't drinking. But then I found this....

Getting a decent picture of these two is becoming impossible

shopping "helpers"

We went strawberry picking at Parlee Farms. They were plentiful and sweet and we had a ton within 15 minutes.

Someone did a bit more munching than actually helping

Another fantastic portrait

Henri decided goats weren't scary after all and had a blast feeding them all. 

Hudson preferred the chickens

And then we had a picnic and cupcakes with friends.

The annual camping trip! Different vibes this year as we stayed for two nights, and a different family with a bunch of kids came with us. Not bad, just different.

Henri's newest favorite outfit from Aunt Anna

Hudson loves marshmallows (just not toasted). Henri only likes chocolate bars

.

Don't believe this face. Hudson does not sleep anywhere but his own little bed at home. Very very very late nights.

Kimballs 2 nights in a row! I gained 4# this weekend alone...

Baby Luther came up for a morning cuddle with "Uncle" Steve, aka The Baby Whisperer.

And then our normal tribe was there for a few hours and all was good. This group gets along so well, and really love each other. It's fun to watch. 

The lack of sleep kicked in by Saturday evening

We came home to a large package with this sweet note. I know it's a marketing ploy, but it meant a lot that she remembered my kids names and sent this, especially as they were in no way connected with the accident. Met Life has some great employees! (wink, wink, Aunt Sharon)

Steve chose Blue Ribbon BBQ for Fathers Day, and though it's as far as you can get from plant-based, it was sooooooooo good!!!

Our neighbors roses thoughtfully grew through our side of the fence so we got to enjoy their beauty this year.

We were both wearing white so we had to selfie

Hudson's current favorite balloon

Spot the irony?? (yes, that's a fitbit on the wrist of the hand holding a cigarette)

The food trucks have returned! Vietnamese tofu and rice bowls for the win!

Hen had her 5 year old check up; she's finally broken into the 30pounds!

Hudson was sort of supportive

Made some muffins. The batter was way way better than the cooked product. 

Some weekend golfing

Tried out a new b-good location. So spoiled that you can get vegan fast food for the same price as a McD's meal, and this one is scrumptious! I mean, the kids meal comes with applesauce and steamed broccoli (Hen was thrilled). 

And then we totally ruined it by going for ice cream. Hey, summer is short in MA! Atoned by making our date night the next day into a 5 mile hill run. 

She's still a major daddy's girl!

VBS has started and Henri is on the red team. Of course I have no red clothes for the kids, but we did have a 24mo onesies.....yeah, other than the sleeves being short it fit her just fine. We added a bow to cover up the football on the front. 

Hudson has been (nicely) asking for the past 6 months to ride this. Finally said Why Not? I don't think he was as thrilled as he thought he was going to be, haha. 

And in huge (to us) news: Henri lost her first tooth. It was a little different feeling on Sunday afternoon, loose on Monday morning, and she had it out by dinner. She was beyond thrilled, I almost cried. I thought we had years before this stage!

She put it in an envelope and sweetly said goodbye to it. She was a little somber as she slipped it inside and she contemplated it for a bit, but the meltdown I was expecting never happened. 

The tooth fairy was appreciative of the offering, and left a nice note, some money, a new toothbrush, and toothpaste. We had a very happy girl this morning. 

While Hen is at VBS, Hudson and I have been park hopping with friends, getting in some shopping, and today having a coffee date (decaf of course. I'm not totally crazy).

His favorite sweetheart was there. They spent almost two hours smiling at each other and holding hands while Juliette's mom and I talked. 

Phew! Medals and awards if you made it this far. The schedule remains packed through the week, and hopefully I'll stay more on top of pictures this month.
