I had a couple more pictures lingering on my camera that more or less illustrate our summer. From dog-sitting "Jolie," to zoo visits, to baseball in the courtyard, to talking a lot about trees around here, we've been busy! I have a bit of anxiety about the dark winter months I have noticed, both last year and now this year; it's not so much about the cold/snow as it is about the darkness in the sky. Strange, especially considering I detest the heat and never got this feeling when the AZ summers were about to hit. Anyhow, that won't be for awhile and like I said before, we are very much looking forward to a brilliant autumn.

| sweet Jolie putting up with you crazy kids! |
 |
| Luthien, one of your favorite lunches is what we call "Nibble Trays." This is how you organize yours, I feel it explains a lot about your personality! |
 |
| we spent about two weeks discussing trees; here is one of your related creations |
 |
| and another shot, thanks to you Bastian! I love how you captured the light on that bird's nest! |
 |
| we picked a perfect day to go to the zoo in which the weather alternated from rain to sunshine; the animals were out and the humans were not |
 |
| the otters followed your yellow ticket anywhere you moved it; pretty amazing tracking abilities from the otters and lots of giggles on your part! |
 |
| we admired the new baby beavers for a LONG time...in particular we could not get enough of tiny beaver tails |
 |
| Luthien you are so excited about starting school... apparently this is what it will be like |
Love,
Mama
