Day 56- home improvement

Had most of the interior of our house painted. Now carpet going in upstairs. This is our living room now...

Now, to move stuff back upstairs, to get the downstairs installed! Summer of leisure? HA!

Here are some shots of the new carpet...

Day 54- Monterey weekend

My husband's mom is moving to Japan next month, and we went down to spend the weekend. We have Monterey Bay Aquarium membership, and our favorite spots to eat. Always a good time!

Here are some collage highlights...

Some other highlights from last week, dressing like cows for free Chick Fil-A meals...

Create a book camp, sharing her origami story book...

Day 51- The Project

Had the interior of our home painted. What a difference! Looks like a new house. It's been hectic boxing up stuff and cleaning. But the results are worth it!

Day 46- Summer is flying by

I have not blogged in July yet. It's been crazy! We have had swim classes. We gave up in Preschool, when K couldn't progress to a ribbon, or put her head under water for long. 4 years later, she gets 3 ribbons in 7 lessons! Amazing!

For the 4th of July, we have gone to our city's parade for the past 4 years with friends. This year, the friends multiplied, and took over the entire corner. So much fun!

Here is a photo from 2 years ago:

And this year:

Then, we went to SF Symphony at Shoreline Ampitheatre, with selections from The Sound of Music, and fireworks! My daughter was part of one of the pre- show entertainer's bit- we know him because I had booked him to perform at my library. We ran into friends too, but I didn't get pictures.
