The view from here

My view on the way back from the pool.   She was very proud today to ride her big bike...prior to this she had been riding a tiny bike. Her feet barely touch the ground on this one, so starts and stops are a little dicey.

I'm hoping to catch up with at least some pictures over the next few days. We've had a busy busy busy couple weeks. The last week of school is INSANE with school stuff, followed by the build up to Parker's birthday and birthday party. Oh and any minute now the major remodel will begin and I have a CAD job to be done somewhere in my free time. Should be an interesting summer!
Parker is loving the pool, luckily, since its already awfully baking hot here and it's not even July. I can somewhat read a magazine by poolside this year...Parker mainly bobs around in the shallow end and chatters endlessly so she's easy to keep track of.

It turned out really pretty this year. The Mandevilla is going crazy and will hopefully have blooms all along the top of the trellis. I also added a scented begonia this year (the light green) and it adds a pretty texture.
