Upon her return to school from vacation, our Tink was crowned the queen of the ball. Here she is proudly wearing her crown!

We have a three year old on our hands...

On August 23rd it became official and two weeks later we are still having a hard time believing it--our Tink is three! We celebrated with a week long vacation in Ohio visiting Grandma and Papa. And then we hosted an under the sea mermaid pizza birthday party. Our girlie had a great time and got tons of toys, clothes, and books. Her favorites (so far) are her truck, doctor outfit, and train set.

Thanks to everyone for a great week and terrific third birthday!

"l'araignée"

Here is our little artist demonstrating her skills with a beautiful chalk rendering of a spider.

Fun in the sun...

This past weekend we went to the Corn and Blackberry Festival at Linvilla Orchards. Our girlie had a great time playing at the playground, getting her face painted (just in case you don't recognize her, she is purple, glitter Spiderman), getting a little peck on the finger by an over zealous chicken, dancing on the picnic table, and eating some delicious blackberries. Special thanks to Amy for scouting out the festival and being our official photographer--you can be our social planner any day!

Then on Sunday we went to Nana and Pop's house to spend some time in the pool and sprinkler with cousins Sophie and Lucy. A wet and wild time was had by our three little blondies!

Valley Green...

This weekend we spent a gorgeous afternoon hiking in Valley Green along the Forbidden Drive. Our girlie had a great time running after the joggers, watching some crazy kids jump off a bridge into the creek, and chucking rocks into the rapids.
