Last post with pictures

(Pictures are too fidgety in blogger...from now on they'll just be in the Picasa album  except for maybe one shot).


Look what's happened in a year!  Ronan has turned from toddler to boy:

Late May 2011
Late May 2012
  

  
Highlights of this month...  


*Great visits!  Friends, grandparents, and more...  summer is travel season!                               
 



*The making of a garden...(or how to get your friends to work while on vacation)
Step 1) Fell tree
Step 2) Hand toddler a hose so he can wet the cardboard
Step 3) Watch as he discovers he can draw with it in jet mode
Step 4) Add some compost and plants
Step 5) Admire!
 


*The transit of venus!  The first and last chance Ro will have to see one, and see it he did!      

*More visits!  First BandD, then Oma and Grossvater, then Tata and Boo!
