Summer

Excitement!!!
A summer afternoon with Mama--this was on the weekend Matthew was away.
Matthew gave this dot to Greta, encouraging her--yet again--to use her markers on her face!!! In our new place we set her little table out in the living room and she often sits at it and colors (she also climbs on top of it, stands on the chairs and climbs over them, and does other related activities--she's very active!)
She loves her blanket and her panda! This blanket was given to her as a newborn by my Uncle Dave. She sleeps with it all the time and lately has been requesting I get it out of her crib so she can carry it around--along with panda (a Christmas present from her Grandpa Mac and Grandma Linda...as many of you know, she LOVES panda!)
Reading a favorite book from the library.
In the past couple of weeks we've gone to the beach a few times. The weather has been beautiful and the water is actually a pretty nice temperature. We live in a beautiful city!
Greta loves to lay down in the warm sand and roll around! What a MESSY BESSY!!! (she loves it when I say that...)
In the water with Papa.
Having a sandy snack!
Yesterday we went to the beach and Greta made friends with some guys who had quite an assortment of balls that Greta was very interested in. This picture was NOT posed! Greta loves to sit on big balls and say "Bounce! Bounce!" while trying to bounce up and down! She's such a friendly, joyful little girl.
