Cousins

We were so lucky to have Robyn, Jonas and Miles drive down to see us last weekend! It was a crazy, fun-filled weekend and, as usual, went too fast...here are some highlights!

Cousins at the apple picking place

Abbie proudly displaying the basket of produce she picked

Izzie getting a shoulder ride - thanks Daddy!

Hmm...will I like this blackberry?!

Say "Cheese!" Wait, are they finally at the age where we can get all four semi-happy and looking at the camera?!! wow...oh wait, we're about to add another...:-) She can re-incorporate the screaming, not-cooperating element!

Auntie Robyn kindly supplying storytime early in the morning

Just Hanging Out

Pretty much we're just waiting on a baby now and excited to welcome some visitors in the next weeks. Hopefully we can produce a baby at some point while some visitors are here - it would be handy to have instant occupation and supervision for the girls - it will all work out, I'm sure :-) That's the adventure of a birth - each one has its own unique and surprising story!
Alex is painting the kitchen red - it's turning out nicely - good job, Hon! (I think he's nesting!)

Just hanging out at the park - we've been keeping busy with lots of playdates with friends and time spent outside - we are loving the beautiful weather we have had and the girls have gotten good and dirty pretty much every day :-)

Playing with friends at a new park - they played for hours at this park and didn't stop moving once! The both fell asleep on the way home...tired in a good way!

We had been at a baby shower in the morning - hence the dresses. The stains did come out - after some nice soaking :-) Even if I'd had to toss the dresses, it would've been so worth it - they had so much fun!

Dancing in Daddy's shirts - SUCH a fun activity...leaves Daddy shirtless, but provides a good 20 minute amusing show of dancing after dinner...so...once again, worth it! And not that I mind that Daddy is shirtless...;-)
