Spaghetti and Meatballs

Spaghetti and Meatballs

The kids continue to be great kitchen helpers and today we made meatballs together. Or so we tried. I got a few pretty decent balls from Chloe and mostly patties or mush from Sebastien.

July with the kids

Check out Chloe using chopsticks without the tops secured together! I think she is ready for the real thing!

Selfies with the kids… sigh… still don’t look anything like me…

My mom took this awesome picture of the kids. Look at how sweet they are. Blackmail material when they are teenagers and can’t stand each other lol.  And I have no idea where Chloe got her long legs from…
Visit from Emilie and Alex

Impromptu visit from Emilie and Alex to watch the France semifinal game!  I think we took 50 pictures and honestly someone was moving or blinking in each one! But such a pleasure to have more of the family together!

 

Visiting Auntie Tina and Uncle David and the BEST POOL EVER

Visiting Auntie Tina and Uncle David and the BEST POOL EVER

Our annual trip out to Long Island to visit Auntie Tina and Uncle David was another hit for the kids!  Thank you for the most amazing day ever!! XOXO

Just one year later, Chloe is so fearless in the water – swimming by herself with just her floaties on and jumping off the diving board by herself!  Sebastien was still a bit hesitant at first but we swam a little together and he played on the edge by himself.  Hopefully he’ll be just as fearless next year!

Happy (and Hot) July 4th!

Happy (and Hot) July 4th!

This year, July 4th was too hot to barbeque. So we spent the day in the water or in the house, hiding from the heat.  Even the plants needed extra water, so the kids helped!

And after all that work, time for more fun in the pool!  I had to cut this video so it’s a little short… but you get the gist… naked bums only!
