Having my sister home from Italy for a whole month was so fun but made it harder to say goodbye. We are six years apart, so it’s been a long time in coming for us to actually get close. And it finally happened – we are good friends! I look forward to her return!
On her last day Stateside we did some chores/ fun around the house… like finding more ripe strawberries…
Even Jack picked “one”… the second attempt he kept grabbing dirt and rocks to eat… my boy!
After our successful garden picking we went inside for freshly squeezed strawberry lemonade…mmm!
Then we headed out for some farewell bowling…
Auntie Na was packing around Jack for the first game…
Even Jeffrey played!
He started with some help…
Then moved on to rolling the ball himself…
Jack hung around for awhile…
Before trying it himself!
Yay Jackie!
Look at us cuties…
My mom says (and I have to agree) we always look the same in every picture… so I tried to be different and Caleb opted for handsomer… sigh…
We did manage to squeeze in some pencil drawing for Drawing (Pencil) Day… which Auntie Na took home to Italy with her.
With Jack in bed, we stayed up late playing the card game Clag on the back deck – what a great way to spend a hot summer night – such a fun game!
