School starts!

School started last week! Lydia is in Year 4, Isaac is in Year 1 and Evelyn is starting Kindy (preschool)!


Evelyn is going to the same Kindy that Isaac went to when we first got here, which I love! Here she is by the cool kid sink.


And here's where I left her playing happily at the water table. And I cried. I didn't think I would, but I did. Silly mother!


Because Evelyn is at Kindy half the week, I get some time with Bridget all to myself! Babies are so fun! She woke up with funny hair this morning. A little tuft at the top.


Bridget is growing and is adequately doted upon by her siblings.


A smile!










I had a birthday, shout hooray! For my birthday I had brownies and mint ice cream; an appropriate summer treat. I don't know how many more summer birthdays I'll get. And I baked those brownies outside in the grill. I'm getting quite good at baking with that thing. Anything to keep the house cool! Here I am with my favorite presents: not only are they great kids, but they're showered and pajama-ed! Doesn't get much better than that!
Happy birthday to me!
