August in a nutshell

My computer is toast. Total bummer, but I have been more productive at home. I do have a phone that gets me online enough, so I can't complain. Today I'm using Jonathan's work computer to do a little update, but time is limited so I have to hustle here. Let's see if this post will even happen.
In a nutshell: Surviving summer.

Nommy is retired! She will now be featured in park photos on a regular basis!!


Never had a baby so into her Papa. When she see's Papa coming she RUNS to him saying, "Papa, Papa, Papa, Papa!!!" Cutest thing ever!!


Princess at the Street fair. The skirt was a little big. She coin slotted the crowd, until a nice lady helped her out.


I have to hand the camera to Jonathan to ensure that there are photos of me for posterity. In fact I informed him that his new year's resolution for 2010 was to take more photos of his wife and children. In the future I will do the settings for him. When I hand him the camera, he doesn't check he just pushes the button. It worked out this time though. I like the Motion Blur. It works.


We're dancing in the middle of main street to a latin band. Fun night.


Happened to get this sweet shot of Jonathan and Maddie so.....


...where there is a cute shot of one kid, I gotta try to get one of the other.


Begonia. Just had to prove that she exists. (My Spanish-English friend. From Spain and England. So my Spainglish friend.) She is very sweet. Our kids do play dates often.


We didn't do a lot of splash park days this summer because of Annaliese's hurt foot, but we tried to do some. Maddie is just warming up here, taking it all in.


Annaliese was actually teaching this little girl how to read! She is amazing!!! Especially not knowing how to read herself. But the little girl repeated every word that came out of Annaliese's mouth. Scammer.


Maddie's favorite little spot is in the fridge of her tiny kitchen.


We visited San Juan Bastista Mission avoiding traffic on the way home from Monterey. More of those later.


Maddie loading up. That's not meant to have a double meaning there.
