July flies by

I have not posted in a looooong time because of our renovation.  We broke down our computer when we moved to my parents, so I had no easy way to down load and organize pictures.  So I will try and catch up.  The renovation post will come soon too.  We lived at my parents from July 18th-September 25th.  We are so lucky and blessed that they welcomed all 7 of us (dogs too).  And they were so super helpful.  Mom spent more hours holding a sleeping Fiona than I can count.  And Dad and Nick did a huge chunk of our renovation, including all of the painting.  We owe them so much!

But on to some recent happenings.  We went to a cafe where you get to interact with monkeys. Part of my did not like it, but the guy obviously really cared for his monkeys and they were never forced to interact with guests.  Unfortunately, a kid pulled the tail of one and it barely bit him, no open skin, but the mom was a lawyer and the place has now closed.  The girls really enjoyed it.  The monkeys had an enclosure in the cafe.


But there were also scheduled interaction times.


 Zoey was not sure at first, but the monkeys loved her.


And she came around.

We celebrated mom's birthday!


The girls went to a camps at a local gym.  It was partially science based, but mostly play and craft time.



We did a lot of swimming in my parents' pool.  Here is Sam jumping in.




And Zoey jumping in.

Zoey went to a friend's birthday party at Little gym.


We also got thumb guards for her.  The dentist said she is right at the border between braces for sure and preventing the need if she stops sucking her thumb.  She has almost completely stopped now.  It was a long battle for sure.


We went to a really cool playdate where you put alkaseltzer in film canisters with paint and the paint exploded onto the paper.



And here is some of Fiona from July.  She is not always a huge fan of pictures.


She started smiling, but they were so brief that I could never catch them.  Here is one, but of course it is blurry.

Here we are playing up-down, which she loves.


And Nana with Fiona.
