June 2012

Before the ridiculous sweltering temperatures, we enjoyed our newest purchase - a bike trailer - nearly every night!  It took them awhile to get used to the close quarters, but eventually they got used to it.

A close-up shot.  Luke making sure Jane isn't creeping too much into his space, and Jane giving her best smile.  She insists on wearing that Elmo sock hat "to keep the hair out her eyes".  I offered her 15 different options, and of course she refused those.  But then would loudly and defiantly shout "I hot mommy"....the endless circle....

Rochester's annual Round Barn festival took place again this June, highlighted (for us) by the Round Barn parade.  I have honestly never quite been to a parade like this before.  Not only did it go on for well over an hour (an hour people!!), but there was every kind of float and animal and vehicle possible.  Since this was her first parade, Jane wasn't quite sure of the whole program, but once she realized it was candy they were throwing, she was all in.  Naturally, her goal was to get every single piece.  Here she is - a woman on a mission.

Sno-cones were handed out at this parade.  Sno-cones!!

Lots of time this summer in our backyard pool.  It's pretty much just a glorified bath for the kids, but they love it nonetheless. 

LOVE this picture of her.

Water was a little cold for Mr. Luke, but a little shout out to the camera.

His eyes are so captivating to me.  I know I'm his mother, but seriously - they are gorgeous!

Another fun trip down to Nky in June for an extended weekend, highlighted by the inaugural trip to Coney Island.  Not sure at first what it was (a kids' dream they soon learned), the kids now can't stop talking about "wimming at Toney Eye-yand".  Here is Jane with a new suit and matching sunglasses from Nana.  She honestly has the knobbiest knees I've ever seen!
