July Fourth

For the Fourth of July this year, we went to Nathan's Aunt Donna and Uncle Orv's house; however, they have moved to Indianola, Washington (next to Bainbridge Island).  It's actually Nathan's cousins Lisa and Dave's vacation home, but Donna and Orv live there as caretakers.  Anyway, the house is right on the Sound, so we had a ton of fun playing on the beach.  We had such a wonderful time with the whole family!  Most of the cousins had yet to meet Micah, and, thankfully, both boys were well-behaved and easy during the day.

The school-aged kids were proud of their sand castle.

Donna played ukulele and sang to Levi.  He LOVED it!!!
He kept asking her to sing over and over again.  As Bob said, "Sing it, Sister!"

One of Micah's new skills is his ability to suck on his own toes.  He has also started seriously grabbing whatever is in reach and getting frustrated if he can't reach what he wants.  He laughs at Levi all the time--which makes Levi laugh.  And he has been very vocal, with a broadening range of expressions.  His energetic personality is really coming out, and it's so fun!
