on the swing, a favorite of Sierra's at the cabin--oh wait, she loves it all!
standing on the roof of the lean-to that Andre and Brian helped my dad build to cover stacks of wood.
Showing off the painted turtle they caught on a boat ride (they did throw it back!)
My sister and I, sporting our U of M sweatshirts all weekend.
My little helper--who's discovered the joys of baking and runs to get his stool and hollers "bake, me!!!!" every time I get the flour out or he hears me mention baking or stool. He helped with pancakes at the cabin.
Tickling and snuggling in the hammock in jammies after a cold swim.
Celebrating Brian's birthday two weeks late with ruhbarb apple crisp (my sister's finance).
Sierra listening to my ipod while Ethan slept. Above, we stopped at Wisconsin Point on Lake Superior to throw rocks and enjoy a sandy beach.
We took another trip to the cabin over Labor Day weekend (yes, I've been traveling a lot--so far 5 vacations in the last 3 months or so! And I don't know if we're done yet!)
Helping...the kids are learning how to unload the dishwasher--Sierra obviously knows more than Ethan, so for her I'm trying to make it more of a habit (she currently gets herself dressed, teeth and hair brushed and bed made every morning). There's lots of teaching that goes on in our house all the time!
Sitting on my counter along with the freshly canned tomato sauce... a jar holding lots of caterpillars and one with a chrysalis. Any science people can give hints on to keep the life cycle going! :) The kids enjoy checking on them every day.
