Happy Father's Day and other odds and ends...

Happy Father's Day (a few days late) to Dan! Norah is so lucky to have Dan as her Daddy! It's really a lot of fun for me to watch the two of them together- playing in the yard, running around the house, going to the park- it's like Dan gets to be a kid again himself. Norah loves to follow her Daddy around and watch him do his work. She'll sit at the window for ten minutes at a time (which is a super long time for her to be in one place) if Dan is working out in the yard or go running to the garage door when he gets home from work at night. Very cute! I love both of them very much.

Father's Day last year and this year - Norah and Daddy on the hammock

As Norah is getting a little older, she is definitely starting to show her likes and dislikes. For example, getting her face wet at swimming lessons = dislike and being outside = like. She would spend all day outside if she could- playing in the sand box, looking at the flowers, playing in the water, etc., etc., etc. She knows that she needs to wear shoes when she's outside (since our grass is kind of spiky [read dead] in places), so she has started getting her shoes and bringing them to me when she wants to go outside. She is definitely a summer kid!

Hope everyone is having a great summer!
