Back to the Jungle

The blogging thing has really gotten hard to keep up with this summer! We seem to be on the go SO much that just posting once a week is getting tougher and tougher, meanwhile we keep doing more and more things that I'd love to post about--arg! I have a feeling I'll still be catching up when autumn hits...

That said here are a few pictures from the day we got back home (to Copenhagen, that is!). It had been hot the whole time we were away with only one day of rain, so the garden was absolutely wild and the lawn was dead! I took this picture through our kitchen window when I spotted Ruby working just as hard dirtying the patio as Jared was working trying to get things cleaned up. She loves to "help", but often times her help just makes things more difficult! I think that's pretty typical though.

We ended up letting Ruby use her sand toys in this flowerless pot. It makes a mess, but it keeps her busy! We'd love to get her a sandbox, but with a cat of our own and lots of neighborhood cats we'd need a covered one and we haven't spotted one at any of the flea markets this summer--I'm sure they're hot items!

It did seem to take us quite a long time to get adjusted when we came home. Ruby really had a tough time and was very clingy for about a week. Just when Jared and I didn't think we could take another day of it, she was back to her normal self and playing great--we think that a couple of molars coming in may have been partially to blame for her crankiness. Thankfully we're through MOST of the teething. Only six baby teeth left to come in--HURRAH!
