Happy Summertime

Annabelle and I have been keeping busy this summer, and obviously not stopping to blog about it.  We had two trips to the east coast, one for a conference in DC (for me) and a visit with Nana and Grampa, and a second trip for a Kelly family beach trip in Delaware.  The rest of our time has been spent taking trips to the park, swimming in our pool, and doing day trips to the beach or Happy Hollow.  We've been having fun!

Annie is so energetic and fun to hang out with.  She is also exhausting!  She has nearly unlimited energy and lots of bad ideas.

Last week we had a birthday party in the park for her 2nd birthday - she loved all the attention, and especially loved having a few of her favorite friends from school at the party.

In the interest of not being too overwhelmed to post, I'm going to just post a bunch of photos and not worry about telling a story.  Maybe I'll caption a few of them if I have time.  I hope everyone else is enjoying their summers as much as we are!

You sit back down, Mama!

Annie often wears just one mitten.  Kind of like Michael Jackson, but not creepy.  Confusing, though, since she owns two mittens, and also it is nearly always 75 and sunny here.
