July 25: I just love this time of year. In the past I haven’t been as big of a fan of summer. Fall and spring were my favorite seasons. And maybe they still are…but right now I can think of no time I’d rather have it be than late summer. The fireflies are lighting up our yard with their dances each night. I made avocado ice cream last night from The Perfect Scoop. Bryan and I took a walk with Sylvia before dinner, and we talked and pushed her in a stroller, and it was so peaceful. I’m really enjoying this one-child vacation!
On Wednesday night, we attended our first Concert on the Square this summer. It was a soft and mild summer evening, and the light was great so I took lots of photos. Bryan and I have been filling our evenings recently re-watching Band of Brothers. Last night, we watched the last three episodes. What a great show.
Sylvia is squealing and spinning in her exersaucer. She’s improving her sitting skills by the hour. It’s a lot of fun to get to focus just on her for a bit here. But I think she misses the excitement of her fabulous big brother:)
Off to Texas tomorrow morning! Word from the grandparents is that he is having a tremendous time. What a lucky kid:)
Althea, Bryan, Andrew, and Sylvia
