Miss Ginette next door was outside this morning, so I asked her to take a picture of us before we headed out for church.  Happy Father's Day!  :)

Liliana wanted to see how long her hair was...

Super fun day with Daddy!

Liliana and Noah rode their bikes while I ran and Donnie ran and pushed Elia in the jogging stroller.  I found myself cracking up while running because of how unbelievably cute Noah was!!!  LOOK:

...making his "mad" Batman face for the picture:

Then we went to a local farm for ice cream and animal feeding time!  Love this place!

Valley Falls Fun with the neighbors again!  :)  We go as man times we can before the open it up for the season and start charging...
Elia went right to business burying my feet...

and swimming like a big kid copying Liliana and our neighbor friend Jordan... here her body is floating and she is pulling herself around by hand walking in the shallow part of the pond!

Love these!!

After showers, food and naps, we headed out to the church cafe for Liliana's very first Piano Recital!

Daddy's Girl!

Liliana and Miss Casey, her Piano Teacher... We brought her some hydrangea's from our garden...

Casey gave each student a gift of popcorn and Swedish fish... the kids dove into the popcorn as soon as we got home to celebrate the big occasion!

Casey's Pool!!!!  The first time this year!  Been looking forward to this day since January 1st!  Haha!  :)  Woooh!

Our Sweet Fishy... I brought her into the water with no floatie just to hold her and hang out and she fussed and screamed and squirmed!!!  Turns out, she wanted INDEPENDENCE in that water, she wanted to, as Nike says:  "JUST DO IT!"... So, I put ONLY these orange floaties on her and she kicked her legs and was totally SWIMMING... she would swim and keep her little chin up and spew water out of her mouth when necessary and kick non-stop for about 4 feet and I would bring her to the steps where she would climb all the way out of the pool and back down in to swim some more!  She did this about 15 times while my friend, Casey, her mom and I watched just flabbergasted!  We had never seen anything like it!!!  I did not even coach her, it was like watching a little baby fish just go by it's brave and bold instincts without the slighted hesitations!  Knowing that we would be at the pool for a good 2-3 hours, I went ahead and added the swimmer floatie thing to her belly so she wouldn't drink so much pool water. 
SO SO SO SO COOL!!!  What a special day this was!!!  Love you our big swimmer!!!  Keep at it!

So silly!!!  :)

Noah had to follow suit and asked me to take his picture too!  :)

Prepping for the Olympics, first practice!  Hehe!  Look at those legs kicking!

Baby girl, I am so sorry, but this was just WAY TOO CUTE... I had to take a picture... 

Upon arrival to our house after the FUN...

Liliana left for the weekend (3 nights/4 days) today to spend with Auntie Joy and Emma at a cottage she rented on the beach here in CT.  Here are mine and Liliana's feet...

Friday, June 22nd

Watched Rosie, Stew and Timmy for Kim in their backyard while she weeded her veggie garden.  It was muggy and hot, but we had a sweet time, as always!  :)

Look at Elia's finger nails!  Mommy painted them a couple days ago, fun!

I brought over these balloons from Roxie's Highschool graduation the night before.  This is Stew...
