I’m told we’ve had an unusually small amount of rain for the season. Even so we’ve had a few amazing storms. Now the mosquitoes are getting serious. We have a whole anti-mosquito arsenal of products (there’s a photo of the mosquito repellent shelf at the grocery store). Leah and Henry spend most weekend days together; they have a good influence on each other. With Leah, Henry tromps in the mud. With Henry, Leah is interested in books in a way she wasn’t before. She misses her animals but has found a few substitutes.
