Catching Up

The long weekend was fun and productive around here. We didn't do anything crazy but managed to finish up a big project and enjoy the weather, which was surprisingly good. John is back in BC so it's ladies' week around here again but it's the last one before we all move. The moving truck will be here on June 12 and we'll be heading to Seattle on June 16 (where we will once again test/enjoy how much Eric and Mary meant it when they said to come "anytime" -- thank you guys so much!). Our stuff could arrive in Penticton anytime between the 18th and the 29th and we'll be poised to make a surgical strike up to Canada as needed from Seattle.

Molly, meanwhile, is content to enjoy the weather and outdoors time around here until then. Friday was still hot and some outside (naked) refreshing was needed to keep the little ones cool.


Hydration -- sometimes it goes in the mouth and sometimes...

we test the power of osmosis.



It really is a pointless to eat a popsicle with clothes on.



When clothes do go on, it's best to accessorize with one's mad face. She will give you this face if asked very nicely or if you have done something to warrant it. Either way, it's pretty funny.



This is the before picture on our backyard...


and the after -- we'll see if we can keep the grass alive but it's a much nicer place to run around at this point. Thanks to Greg for helping out instead of going on an as-promised kayak ride because "oh no, it'll all be done by the time you get here." Ah, no.


And the surveyor of her new domain.
