Summertime!

Virginia has been pretty warm for a while now, but with Daddy finishing school in a couple weeks it's really starting to feel like summer!!  The best part of summer in the "country" is the great outdoors.  Daddy has turned the big yard into an exercise opportunity for Ysabella. She may be ready for a 5k with Mommy before we know it.

  Anthony isn't left out of the excitement...

.... he only appears to have aged 70+ years (he's still only 7 months old).   Ysabella enjoys a daily stroll with Nona or Dolly.

Uncle Ahmadu taught her the finer art of "stunting" (right Uncle Dave?)

We also started learning to balance with a brand new bike.

But we still need a lot of help and a few inches.

Some may argue their favorite part of summer is swimming in a pool.

And Daddy might be the only one who enjoys splashing.

But we all can agree that happy, smiling children is best of all.

This Summer... Never Forget Your SPF, Nicastros!
