photos

Some long overdue photos.  We've been busy!  We had a great time with Grandpa Bill and Grandma Sharon in mid-May.  As a reward for doing so well with potty training Rory got a stuffed Elmo doll.  School ended for Rory on June 15th and her class celebrated the end of the year with a Teddy Bear Picnic.  She's really going to miss her teachers and classmates -- she did not want to leave school on the last day.  Stepler and I both got new bicycles and Rory has enjoyed riding on them.

Stepler ran a marathon in Tromso, Norway on June 19th...but I'll save that for its own post.

hide & seek

Rory is learning to play hide and seek.  Right now she's not very good at it, but she is certainly having fun.

She likes to hide with mom or dad while the other parent does the seeking.  While hiding she'll often say, I'm right here or here I am.  Sometimes she'll jump out of her hiding spot just as the seeker comes into the room.  Playing hide and seek with Rory isn't very hard, but it's lots of fun for everyone!
