astrid's first camping trip slightly disastrous
Marilee and Sterling's ward had a camp out a couple of weekends ago and we thought it would be the perfect camping test run for Astrid(for some reason we haven't had a chance to take her until now). She had a great evening with her cousins but the night was just not her piece of cake. Once she finally fell asleep at 11pm, she was up every 20 minutes screaming to get out of the tent. She would push the sides and motion that she wanted to get out (claustrophobic?). At 2am Arthur suggested we go home, to which I agreed, since it felt like the night was lasting forever. As soon as I got out of the tent with Astrid and sat by the fire pit, she was out.
Looks like we need to experiment in the yard a bit more or get a bigger tent.

our little garden
We've loved having a garden this summer again because Astrid has actually been able to enjoy it.
There's nothing better than tiny dirt-filled Crocs.
It's been a bit of a challenge to teach her not to tear the leaves off of the plants (she can't quite grasp photosynthesis). When she would tear a leaf, I would cry, pretending to be the plant and would tell her that it was an "owie" for the plant. Now she tears the leaf and cries for the plant and gives it a hug. It's actually kind of cute.

3 years of love and 33 of life
Yesterday Arthur and I celebrated our anniversary. It was perfect. We got some Dodo and walked across the street to the park and had a picnic. Afterwards we went down to the pond and fed the ducks with Astrid. The weather was perfect and I could have stayed all evening. I love being with my family.
Tomorrow is Arthur's birthday...Siegfried's and a movie of Arthur's choice. I can't wait!
