Our summer has started out with a bang! Here is a little update for those who are still checking the blog:
Aubrey is very busy. Currently her favorite thing is to pretend she is Mary Poppins. "Mommy, I measure you...Poppins, every way..." Translation: Mary Poppins measures herself with a measuring tape and it says, "Mary Poppins. Practically perfect in every way." She will also give me spoonfuls of medicine and say, "Strawberry, mmm..." a quote from the movie.
Probably my favorite thing to watch her do, however, is to pretend to catch a bird out of a window, sing, "Spoonful of Sugar," (Aubrey's version is: "Medicine...down, medicine...down."), and then dramatically release the bird back out the window. For those who have never seen this classic Disney film, you are officially invited to our house. Showings are usually about 5 times a week.
We have also spent a lot of time away from home this month. Aubrey got to play with her friend, Blake, the son of my dear friend, Amy. Blake was a very gracious host to Aubrey and she now affectionately talks about, "Bake...Aubey's friend."
This past weekend our little family of four spent time in Ellensburg, Washington, celebrating the upcoming marriage of Geoff to Michelle. I am excited to be gaining another sister here shortly!This picture is for you, Geoff. :)
Here is a picture of 3 out of the 4 Anderson girls + one of the next generation of Anderson girls, of which there are 3. :) Yes, I know, it is a remarkable picture of Aubrey.

I love this blog. You are the perfect blend of sweetness and wit. much like mary poppins. it thrills my hear that aubrey loves that movie. I feel that it is one of the great movies of all time. such good taste.
and that "bird release" bit makes me want to cry. she is just... you know? I love the pretending of little girls. it's one of the most beautiful precious treasures this life has to offer.
you are such an encouragement! thanks for updating:)
Oh my goodness! I wish we had known you guys were in Ellensburg last weekend. We were in Pasco for the week because of the funeral for Aaron's grandmother and we drove through Ellensburg twice (though at late hours). Anyway, we could have totally met up - oh well, we'll just have to wait for next month. I love your post! Makes me really miss you and Aubrey.
I love hearing about Aubrey and all the stages she goes through! She is so sweet! Isn't this age fun when they start to pretend and imagine and really get into things? The pond pictures turned out so cute too. :) We sure had fun with you guys that day--we need to not wait so long in between next time! Glad you guys are doing well!
By the way, I think Blake played better with Aubrey than pretty much anyone else he's played with! He still talks about seeing the tadpoles with "Ah-bee". :)
