unlimited supply of dum dums




July 1
LGBG
Being really American in our stars and stripes and being really cute without trying.


July 2
Front Yard
Giant bubbles for the semi-win. As in, kept the kids busy while cookies were in the oven, but it was difficult for the little hands to be steady enough with the wand.


July 3
Front Yard
I'm going to go ahead and say that watermelon season is the best season, as far as these two are concerned.


July 4
LGBG
Debated several festive activities, but sometimes (okay, frequently) the easy option wins. So we packed up our stroller and walked across the street and had a lot of fun.

 

July 5
Cyborg Room
Edwin's size didn't overlap with US Marshall blazer season so we used a rainy day as an excuse to let him wear it.


July 6
Bed
Yahtzee in bed (and that is a Yahtzee!) with the husband. Probably as close to a date night as we've had in awhile.


July 7
VMFA
Cultural outing. But then it turned out the play area was closed so we took a decent walk to a playground in the Fan. Overall, good morning!


July 8
Otter Cove
Seems fitting that Ducky bought a giant duck. Leena is pretty skeptical unless it is in the grass. It took a lot to get her up there.


Meanwhile Andy and Henrico Station 7 are helping City of Richmond fight some fire. I think they look a little too excited to be standing next to a red engine.


July 9
Back Yard
First s'more roasting of the summer! And Leena's first time to roast by herself!


(Her dress is on backward. Oops.)


July 10
Pediatrician
I don't even know why we are at the doctor but I'm sure it has something to do with Edwin's millionth ear infection. (Leena insisted on wearing knee socks even though it was 97 degrees.)


July 11
Duck Blind
Getting an Ikea closet installed is no joke. Even when it is just a few pieces. We survived and didn't even yell at each other. So consider it another successful date night.


July 12
Edwin's Room
Fell asleep in the car. Moving him was enough of a risk so I definitely wasn't going to try to take his shoes off.


Then he woke up and was hungry.


July 13
Duck Blind
Tile work getting done. Check.


July 14
Crump Park
Friends at the park. Even though they don't look it at all.


Tile work nearly complete.


July 15
Living Room
Leena got a hold of my phone and took this beauty. I will say, her pictures are beginning to have purpose rather than just ceilings and floors. Still the occasional 157 photo burst though.


July 16
Front Yard
Jumping. Over and over. And brother could care less.


July 17
Twin Hickory
Splash padding.


July 18
Front Porch
Sharing popsicle-eating tips, especially when it comes to getting the juice out at the end.


July 19
Leena's Room
Naps are harder to come by these days so if she passes out in the middle of her floor, fine by me!


July 20
Front Porch
After a cancelled flight and an unexpected day at home, I'm off to Denver for a Roller weekend. Meanwhile, back home everyone is enjoying after dinner popsicles.


July 21
Continental Divide
Boulder, CO
Hiking with my high school besties = the best. We are all staring at Tucker and I have a death grip on her harm because she just lost her balance and almost went over the edge.


July 22
Denver, CO
I don't remember what the brewery was called, but it was obviously fate because this mural was on the wall. That's an "r" in sign language. It's also the Roller symbol we gave ourselves many years ago.


July 23
Donnelly House
Westminster, CO
All the other Rollers have left for home but I've got one more day. So I met my cousin-nephew David Larkus and hung out with Pam. Nothing beats a vacation where you get to see/spend quality time with so many people you love.


July 24
Smith House
Paeonian Springs, VA
As I fly back across the country, Andy hangs with his cousin and all our kids hang together. They had a wild time on the farm!


July 25
Pediatrician
Here we are again for the summer of ear infections for Edwin. Leena doesn't mind because it's basically meant an unlimited supply of Dum Dums.


July 26
Cyborg Room
Trying to get a passport photo for Andy and failing miserably. Instead he's making fun of his daughter's goofy teeth and scoring a nice family photo.


July 27
Chuckey's
Just some East End signage Andy photographed while on the job. It's kind of a one-stop shop. Depending on your needs...


July 28
Twin Hickory
What happens inside the tube.


July 29
Bott House
Kids get their first music lessons and they both are real taken. We will be sending them over regularly for violin, ukulele, guitar, and piano lessons from here on out. Let me know if I left anything out. Oh, accordion!


July 30
Otter Cove
Family dinner after a long hard day of playing and soaking up the sun. Leena nodded off at the table.


July 31
Maymont
Alice, the goat whisperer, and Edwin, the goat runner-away from.
