that's me mowing our lawn this summer...since my last post (i know forever ago) a lot has happened...early june dominic and i took a trip out to northern california...we went to a friend's wedding, visited napa valley and left with some of it's wine, stayed with our friend carrie in san francisco...
the view from the inside looking out at one of the vineyards we did a wine tasting at...amazing
up close and personal with the grapes and the owner of this small but fantastic vineyard...tres sabores...they make a great wine called por que no?we made it back to bristol just in time for the 4th of july parade in town...the outhouse races are a must see at least once...
this is an annual tradition that people train long and hard to participate in...very amusing...the rest of july was spent packing up our apartment for the big move into our new house...thura wasn't sure what was going on but enjoyed finding new places and things to play in and with...
she insisted on crawling into any spot that once held something...she needed to know what it felt like being there....
packing paper became a favorite new toy...
i think at one point she thought this might be her best way to make the move as well...the move was successful...two weeks after we were in we held our first party...it was great...
dominic has created a removable wiffleball field in our backyard...
as summer ended it brought with it the beginning of dominic's traveling for work and the start to my school year...teaching pe and 3/4 is going great...i love being able to get to know all the kids in the school personally...the beginning of sept found me back in minnesota for a whirlwind of a weekend when my sister faith got married...
this is the same pose we had about 10 years ago when all down in grand cayman...
