Summer Lovin'

We are enjoying summer very much at our new place. Our days are full of gardening, playing dress up around the house, baby dolls or taking walks and playing at the park. Maggie even got a summer haircut in the spirit of the season. We also had a fun visit from Christine, John and cousin Brody last weekend and we'd like to encourage all family and friends to follow their example. Take full advantage of summer break and come visit us!

Maggie is really into role play these days. Underneath this apron is a tutu for when she plays ballerina, but right now (in this pic) she is a mommy. I know what she is pretending to be right away because she likes to announce "I'm a _____" whenever she switches characters. Just like the carebear video. But, she also likes to pretend to be a mommy, Grandma, baby, ballerina, Henry and sometimes she is just Maggie...which is a lot of fun too. She occasionally assigns the role of Daddy to Henry, which he plays quite well for an 8 month old.
Here is a shot of Maggie's new summer do. I chopped quite a bit off. Last time I cut her hair I said I'd never do it again, but here I am doing it again. I guess I'm just super cheap and would rather do it myself and then I figure she's so cute I can't really mess up.
Here's our little crawler and climber. The other day Tyler spotted him as he climbed the stairs. Tyler had to steady him just once, but he actually climbed to the top pretty much all by himself.
And, the picture you've all been waiting for...our garden is finally finished. Now all we have to do is water and wait for some yummy vegetables. I know it looks pretty small but it was quite a project.
And, I couldn't resist posting a few more pics of Henry.
This is his confused/concerned face...
