Just the Beginning

The Clark home has been enjoying a lovely start to summer this past week.  We said good-bye to Debbie, who has done our daycare since Olivia was just a baby.  We'll miss her, but sure are excited about our new daycare we have lined up for fall too!  Debbie was so sweet in giving the kids each a Webkinz as a good-bye present. 


My first drive into school without students, and this beautiful rainbow appeared.  It looked like it was going right into the church/school... As if to say "Welcome to summer, a quiet classroom awaits you!"

We have packed in quite a bit of fun since then.  Here's just a snapshot at what we've been up to:

Northfield Farmer's Market/Art Fair:

New snack love;  Dried mangoes:

Rainy day silliness; Pulling couch cushions off to crawl, roll, bear walk, etc.:

Mmmm... New dessert treat; Ice cream sandwiches with fresh cookies:

Chalk Clark family + Savannah and Brooke:

Fresh strawberries from the garden and fresh from the oven banana bread:

Bare feet in the grass:

Uh, oh.  Look who cut her hair for the first time:

Lots of park visits:

Swimming pool... Not even waiting for the water to warm up:

Baking with my girl, and sporting matching aprons:

Visiting Grandpa and Grandma's baby chicks:

Wagon rides:

Morning cuddles:

And that's just the start!  Looking forward to this weekend's festivities of celebrating Father's Day, my birthday, and having a craft day with some girl friends!  Hope you have some fun planned too!
