August Catch-Up

Here are some pictures from the past few weeks---we've been going to a few birthday parties, making "projects," picking and cooking with tomatoes, visiting the library, and just trying to stay cool and comfortable (although this weekend was wonderfully comfortable outside--a taste of Fall)!
