Where o' where has the summer gone?

It is possible to blink and have a whole month pass in a second? That is a bit how I felt this past month. After trying to get settled in the house, working during the day, and spending as much time with Gracie, there isn't much left for anything else?

Here is ring-around-the-rosie, with three generations. She would have kept going if we wanted to have stayed at the family fun fest.
There were so many wonderful summer fun days and nights. Most days you will find us after work going to the fountains at The Streets of Southglenn, going to the swimming pool, hanging outside on the slide or house, going to the park, or just running errands. Oh the fun of a quiet summer. Here are photos that are pretty self explanatory.
Gracie's favorite new activities are cooking with mama. Eggs are the popular choice though noddles are a close second. We just made cookies for the first time and Gracie enjoyed the dough, which I think is in her genes from Gigi.

A few other fun things she has liked, first our neighbor provided Gracie with some excitement, much like George has, with a new sidewalk being poured. She asked to see the big trucks for days. Second, Gracie continues to love having her photo taken, looking at herself in the mirror, and entertaining herself. Very funny for all actually.
Gracie is saying her name often which sounds like "saysie." She surprised us with singing the ABCs last week with missing only a few letters. While I was getting over a cold I was trying to sing in the car and Gracie told me "no sing mama." Makes you feel great to be shushed by your daughter. Her typical morning is early morning wake-up, banana, milk, and time with Gigi. Here is a typical morning photo with banana peal in-hand.
July 28th Gracie had her first trip to the dentist. Granted all we did was have the dr just check her mouth quick since she still only has a 12 teeth and we brush them everyday. We will be seeing another dentist in the future though we are lucky because Gracie loves to brush her teeth.
