for mimi, to start with

third year summary:
started preschool, loved it
learned to use the potty (still working on the timing!)
moved to nh & lived with sophia and family
fought like a sister with sophia, but became closer still
moved into own house, own room, and now we have a play room!
sleeps through the night, aside from some bathroom visits
missed school and friends and family in "the south"
had a fabulous 4th birthday party in our backyard

i'm sure i forgot something momentous, but it's hard to remember a year back! i certainly won't try to fill it with picture, because that WILL take me hours that i don't have. so, she turned four, started writing her name by herself, and can swim without any flotations, under water. although i guess her face mask could be considered a flotation device as it floats her confidence. zoey loves the water as much as her dad and i, which makes us very happy.here's some pictures of our visit, currently happening, with family and friends around fall river.

first, we had ice cream from the vegan ice cream truck in providence

then we saw baby cousin landon, titi, kohle, uncle jason and papa (too much visiting to take many pictures, but got this one of cutie patootie landon)

day 2, visit to henry, laura, and new baby harper

day 3, trip to attleboro to see jonathan and justine, during a visit to capron park

day 4, had tons of fun with shannon, maya and brayden and kohley at the zoo, but it was too hot to take pictures! then headed to providence to visit lisa. here's zoey helping her water her community garden plot, and cut basil for us.
