looking back over the summer....

it's getting closer and closer to Fiona's second birthday, which means this summer is almost at an end...Fi sure has grown and changed a lot....here is a look back at some of our adventures....

in May, we went to an organic strawberry farm, and Fi's friend Kaulini met us there. we had a great time...and ate lots of strawberries along the way!





























ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Fiona learned a lot about helping...






















ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

she learned to play on her own and cooked a lot in the little kitchen in her room...





















ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

in June, we went to a paint-your-own-pottery place and Fi made a surprise mug for Daddy for Father's Day (she loves those rainboots and wears them alot...rain or shine!)






















fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff


Fi went from being afraid to walk in the sand or go near the water to playing in the sand and standing in the water up to her neck and laughing at the waves at the beach...we went a lot, sometimes with friends, sometimes with mama....


























we also spent a lot of time at the pool, and by the end of the season Fiona could put her face in the water on her own and could jump in, while sitting, to her mama.

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Fiona got a new house for her dollies, and after helping mama put it together and having it set down in her room, she was so excited she ran right over and climbed inside...

the next morning, as soon as she woke up, Fi said "dollies!" and went back to playing with her new house...

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Fiona got a new bike and helmet, with a handle on the back so we can push her...she can reach the pedals and is working on steering...she is very proud of herself....






















ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
my mom got married in July, and Fi had a great time at the reception after the wedding....
here she is with her mama and grammy....



















...and here she is dancing the night away with the newlyweds....

How big Fiona is getting. She is a beautiful girl. All of you are very blessed. Her cousins love seeing her and miss her. They talk about her a lot and want to come see her. I bet her birthday party was much more quiet without the Mckee gang there, sorry we missed it!!! Hope to see you soon!
Love,
Aunt Tricia and the gang
