homemade rootbeer, cakes for cats, window beetles

we moved at the beginning of july and now we are near the end of august. hard to believe. during that time we had many adventures, from lena losing her first tooth, to moving into our new home, finding giant beetles, and playing music with friends. here are a few photos of these adventures as we get ready for the start of the school year.
