The best name however has gone to Adam. About a month ago, Emma started calling Adam Stron-go (she says it like the word strong, with a heavy accent on the G and an O on the end). She informed us that Daddy was Stron-go because he can lift heavy things- like a truck or MOM!! (Thanks Emma, that's a real self esteem booster!) I am now Mrs. Stron-go and she calls herself Stron-go Jr.
Here are a few highlights from our summer so far-
Visit to Philadelphia and the Zoo-
AGI Picnic and NEBU Kids museum day-
Family visit to the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall-
4th of July that started with a Flag ceremony in front of our house, moved on to a long bike ride/jog, then on to a pool party/BBQ, and ended with an attempt to watch the Boston Fireworks on TV, but everyone fell asleep before they started!
Visit to the Dentist that ended with no cavities and balloon animals for all!
Teaching a few too many classes at the gym-
A trip to the Boston Children's Museum with some friends from the ward- and Emma ended up with the camera most of the time!
And participating in a "Welcome to the Valley" celebration for the Youth from our Stake who just completed a 3 day pioneer trek. You can watch a video about it here.
We are excited to have Adam's parents coming out to visit/help us this Saturday! Next week, Adam leaves for High Adventure with the Young Men (a canoe trip to the Boston Harbor islands) and I leave for a week of Girls Camp the same day! Emma turns 5 this month, Adam turns about 30 years older than Emma next month, followed by Braydens 12th birthday and Bekahs 9th! My oldest son will be in Young Men's in less than one month and my youngest will start Kindergarten on Sept 8th! When did I get this old?
