July 2012

Jane has really enjoyed playing make-believe the last few months.  And since she reads a lot, a majority of her 'pretend' activities stem from re-creating stories from her book.  Here she is Princess Mariana who is trying to save Mermaid Kingdom from the Mean Old Octopus (daddy) who is throwing garbage into the ocean and making the mermaids sick.  We re-enacted this scene at least 37 times in a 20 minute period.  But it's so cute to see her imagination at work!

An artist in the family - she loves painting pictures for everyone!

Enjoying a little R&R with Grandpaul...

I love this picture of them

Another special trip to Coney Island pool.  Luke has found that his love of bananas is seriously being rivaled by his unquenching love for watermelon.  He ate his entire container in front of him and the rest of everyone else's as well!

A lollipop for a special pool treat!

Enjoying the rides - Jane looks dangerous and Luke is looking for an exit

Making special Mickey Mouse pancakes with Nana

Buds. 
The chocolate chips for eyes/nose might have something else to do with it too!

Very proud of her creation

As per usual, it takes Luke a little while to really warm up to things.  Aunt Katie doesn't mind and sneaks in hugs/kisses whenever she can!
