 A look back over the month

Josie loves her animals
We went hiking with Alma and Kachun.

A visit to the library on cat adoption day.

Family of racoons in our yard.

Josie fell in love with Snuggles at the local locksmith.

Video of Josie and Snuggles.

 On a mission to climb a tree at church. It didn't work well in flip flops.

Found a tree to climb at Pulgas Ridge. 

 Family tree climbing on a trail along Skyline.

Cheering on the Cubs. Thanks to Papa for the new Cub's shirt.

Happy Birthday Shirley
Family birthday dinner at Mountain Home on Skyline

Happy Birthday Daddy-O. His request was Swedish pancakes for his breakfast in bed. Josie had a dinner play date so we got to enjoy dinner at Milagros and then watched American Sniper. Great movie.

Rebecca in town for a visit. Dinner at Alice's.

Finally a vacation at the Hut and friends came too! Dave & Tia and 4 kids made sleeping very cozy. So fun to have them with us. Josie loved having all the kids around 24/7.

Little Holland Hope, 3yrs old, almost the same size as Josie. Holland, Emerson (6.5 yrs), & Josie had a great time together.

Tia made some yummy meals on the grill.

 

 

Jennifer & Scott's daughter Alina was baptized in a small ceremony in Tahoe - Alpine Village. Josie and I spent a few hours with these friends while Eric and our other friends watched their son Rocco participate in a dirt bike event on a course a mile from the Hut.

 There was a bbq at the beach to celebrate this lovely occasion.

Kinder hair cut! Josie wanted to have her hair cut. I was hesitant but she'd been asking for weeks. We went to visit Lei the day before school started. It came out adorable. She loves it and said she never wants long hair again.

 Love her happy face.

 Thanks Lei

 Fingers and Toes ready for school

 First shower with short hair - so easy

 First day of Kinder

 Walking with friends. Lilly and her little sis Amelia are renting the cottage at Kaira's house so the three kinders walked to school together. They are all in different classes.

 
We're so happy to have Mrs Logie (best teacher in the school - that's what everyone tells us).

 Meeting Mrs Logie for the first time.

 Josie's "desk". Louise, the blond girl behind Josie was in her preschool. That's the only person she knows in her class.

 Mrs Logie and Josie at pick up

 Olivia, her friend from preschool, is next door in room 2.

 Walking home together

 Kaira come home with us for a play date. Lunch in the teepee.

Day 2 - finally got to bring her new lunch box.

 Day 3 waiting in lunch room for Kaira's class so they can eat lunch together and then play outside.

 Swimming after school. It was a hot first week of school and an exciting week!
