rolling down a grassy hill

Remember doing this as a kid? I loved doing this. But it always kinda hurt, and was a bit disappointing. Yet I did it every time I saw a big grassy hill (and was allowed to). Charis is the same. It always tempts her, and she is generally a bit disappointed. But I love watching her do it. And then there's Pax who wouldn't even walk on grass without shoes for a long time. I think he tried rolling once, and has never been tempted since. My guess is that Jonas will be a roller.

Summer

Are these not poster-perfect pictures of summer kids?! It was such a fun day of sun and water and my car finally getting washed! (Someone had actually written "wash me" on it.) The kids really worked together to clean it. And we all got really wet in the process.
