After Noomi’s party the kids went up north with Grandma Dara and
Papa. They had a great time. Ajax is now big enough to reach the pedals on the John Deere. Noomi used the hose to clean the house (twice) and also taught Mabel to use the doggie door. They came home on Friday and were quite worn out!
On Saturday, we headed to Oxford for the family BBQ. The kids played and swam with the cousins. Everyone had a great time. We got home around 5 and then the kids went swimming again with some of the neighbors.
On Sunday, we did the normal cleaning routine and then Noomi and I headed to Canton for a wedding shower for my cousin, Michael. While we were gone the guys went for a bike ride and Ajax wrote in his summer journal (as we are trying to have him write consistently over the summer to keep his skills up). Noomi had a great time at the shower and sat right at my cousin’s feet while Michele opened the presents. It was pretty cute.
