Well my computer has made a miraculous recovery from whatever ailment it was suffering for the last two months and I am finally back online! Here are some highlights of our summer so far:

It started off rough when M broke her arm after falling off the monkey bars in the backyard. A hospital trip two hours away, a scary surgery, and a few weeks in a cast was not the summer vacation she expected. But she is healing now and hoping she won't need physical therapy to get the full use of her arm back.

Even with her arm in a pretty pink cast, she did manage to ride a pony at a friends birthday party.

Here's one of my other cowgirls. Don't mess with this one.

Speaking of birthdays, the youngest of our girls turned 3! We celebrated with a trip to the castle park, an ice cream cake, and a new potty! She loved the park and the cake, but is not too interested in using that potty.

The boys are getting big too. E has definitely hit a growth spurt this summer and is growing out of his clothes and shoes faster than he can wear them. Any day now he will be taller than me. And baby bird is learning to stand and cruise along the furniture and will probably be walking much sooner than I'll be ready for.

Well, that about covers it. I'm so glad I can blog again and that my computer is back up and running. Checking emails at the library just wasn't cutting it. And I'm sure there'll be lots more summer pictures to post!
