Summer 2013

Summer doesn't feel much like summer around here. Alek leaves for a month, so that doesn't help me feel the happy, celebratory way I want to feel about the season. Charlie and Fitz go to summer school. And we don't usually take a vacation (see last year for the exception). However, we do grill a lot and the kids play in the sprinklers. And it's really hot. So we get some of the normal summer stuff in. This summer:

Fitz and Jane became better buddies.

We had a semi-lame Fourth of July, with super delicious food.

Spring 2013

It's been six months since I actually blogged about our family life and those posts were catch-up posts, too. Sigh. These were the goings on this spring.

Fitz turned 4 and he looked like this.

I made him a shark cake that was far inferior to the one I made for Katie, but loved every bit as much.

We celebrated Easter in our disorganized way.
