This week Heff was on a fly fishing trip with some buddies and Emmy's other family she works for had kids at sleepaway camp so we got Emmy ALL DAY and overnight!! We are so lucky, and so spoiled. She is really the best. I love that we get to spend so much time together and she is SO good with my girls. The best! These pics are all from Emmy's iPhone Monday and Tuesday - she's amazing!

Morning reading in the sun room. That JJ :)

and a little sunshine and vitamin D in the front yard

we didn't want to have a scheduled summer of activities (Heff and I are trying to figure out how to raise kids without schedules taking over - anti-activity life! I'm sure this won't work once they are older, but we can naively dream :) SO we are doing a homegrown backyard summer camp with neighbors - it's been really fun.

activities and coloring (Mary's Summer Fun Camp flashback :)

as emmy says "everyday moments"

maternal Maisie and her baby "Tessie" ("Can I hold Tessie? Can I hold Tessie" ALL day long from this girl)

and field trip day to Hidden Villa to check out the farm (where we get our Bumble produce!)

Smart Emmy - puts them all in pink jackets (on this random chilly June day) so she can keep track of all three. good work Emmy!

Maisie Moo caught a chicky

and Francie the expert catcher

Emmy's caption on this one: "Mary had a little Lamb, little lamb...." :)
