Sittin on the dock of the pond...

We weren't really sitting at all.  Actually, I was sitting but Things 2,3 and 4 were definitely not sitting.  They were jumping, diving and cannon-balling into Mema and Grandpa's pond.  Take a look.

Yesterday we celebrated Mema's birthday with family dinner, presents, cake and icecream and some pond swimming.  The Horel family was there and the cousins were able to dote on Autumn.  They watched her sleep and oohed and aahed.  We noticed her baby rolls on her arms and legs and kissed her forehead.  Oh how sweet.

The Things helped Mema blow out the candles. 

I think they thought it would get them to eating cake faster.  They were anxious.  We made a homemade strawberry cake and a chocolate amaretto cake.  Delish, if I do say so myself.  Thing 3 and 4 decorated Mema's pink cake and it looked stunning. 

What a perfect way to start summer vacation!
