June Fun

Ah! Summer here at last. Catherine finished her first gymnastics course and the family finished our first parent and tot swimming class. Now we are looking forward to our visit to the coast. Catherine is doing very well with her potty training (she had mom worried there for awhile) and Sonya seems quite interested in what big sister is doing. Might we goodbye to diapers before the new year? I can only hope!

We had a nice play date with Loni, Rosa & Alberta last week. Here are some pictures from that day. The girls played in the sandbox, watered some flowers (and the grass) and ran in circles while the moms just enjoyed the sunshine. We had a great time and hope to do it again soon.

Poor Loni was responsible for filling up the watering cans. She had three. What a smart woman!

Poppa recently returned from the Caribbean. He brought back some lovely gifts, including this dress for Catherine

Catherine received a Groovy Doll from some friends of ours (Thank you Satyro Family!) and while she happily played with her new toy, Sonya was very quiet. Probably trying to figure out why Catherine kept on getting all these cool new toys. Glen and I decided that Sonya deserved a Groovy Doll as well. This is the one she choose.
