Summertime with Molly

My poor updating of this blog continues! I keep forgetting to bring my camera to work so I can upload photos, so this will be a photo-less posting. We need to get ourselves a photo card reader thingamabob at home so I can do it from there.

Molly is enjoying the end of summer. She and Daddy have gone swimming a couple of times with some nearby friends and their daughter Issie. She enjoys splashing around in the kiddie pool of the community pool. We also had a great time at the jungle gym this past weekend, when Molly went in a circuit of climbing stairs and sliding down a slide about 25 times in a row, all by herself! Another favorite activity has been enjoying bubbles. I tell ya, nothing is better than a 99 cent thingy of bubbles to delight a kid. She yells "Bubbas!" whenever she sees the bottle. Another favorite sport? Blowing raspberries on mom's belly. It cracks her up so much.

We are in the process of selling our apartment and buying a home. Assuming it all works out correctly, we should be moving in October. Too late to get much enjoyment out of our new backyard for the season, I'm afraid, but we'll be so excited to have it next summer! We hope to plant flowers, maybe grow some veggies, and let Molly have the run of the place. Though I think we'll have to build a fence first, since there's nothing dividing our yard from the neighbors'. So she might end up wandering away unless we box her in. Hopefully the neighbors won't think we're being unfriendly. Good fences make good neighbors, right?
