air and water show

oh lookit! lookit! Trapeze classes on the way to the show.

Bea came to the conclusion that she will indeed have a seat, cause THIS is her kinda show.

Sharing the show with her bear!

birdie

Cordelia makes such tweetie little noises. Usually they are happy tweets, but sometimes they turn into puppy whimpers. I like to call her birdie when she tweets and flutters her arms.

northwoods 2012

This year was much different than before. Cordelia was just a peach and Bea was always having too much fun. I think my heart was always beating out of my chest worrying about something Beanut was about to do. It is such a great place for all of the cousins to spend some quality time, and for the adults to have some kid-free fun too. It really is hands down my most favorite time of year.

summer on southport

We did a super-fast-last-minute trip to the neighborhood fest Summer on Southport. Last year Bea was too little for the kids section, and this year she was a little too chicken. She sat the entire time in the bouncy and then slooooowly climbed up the slide before being rescued. But she came back guns a blazin' when she ate octopus, fish flakes and a bunch of other adult food. Cordelia took a pass on the taste test.

rosebud

Aimee has coined yet another nickname - Rosebud. Here is Rosebud in her rosiest of ensembles.
