Papa Jack and Grammy Dink and the 3 Muskateers

Thank you Papa Jack and Grammy Dink for a wonderful afternoon! 


The 3 Muskateers...Joshi's not totally bringing his A-game due to the shots he received just hours before...but he rallied...

Noah plays with the same coffee pot that Jeff played with 35 years ago...this occupied Noah for a very long time...

A little time out...don't they look happy?
After some swimming, lunch, baseball, a time out...some popsicles and ice cream...much happier...

Lindsay Rose comes to visit

My dear friend Marcy came over to visit with her 1 year old daughter, Lindsay. Noah was so pleased to have a visitor all his own...




Visit from Ali and Joshua

This is all out of order, and I will spare you the long drawn out, exasperating experience of trying to edit on my mom's computer...and don't even ask about videos...but...

Liam and Noah's cousins came over on Sunday for lunch, pooltime, and some much needed playtime. It was no longer 100 degrees outside so it was a bit chillier...no matter, these are a hearty bunch and they (they meaning Ali and Liam, that is, Joshi spent his time on the steps...smart boy) braved the cold pool water to show off to each other how well they can now swim.

After lunch, we headed downtown for some ice cream...


Picture of Noah on a walk earlier in the day, out of order on this posting, but whatever, it is too annoying to try to edit it...

Kids at the pool...

Noah and Papa in the morning (obviously before the cousins came to visit). Noah is lovingly interfering with Papa's morning exercises.


Noah and Uncle Mike hanging out while the kids were in the pool...



California Day 1

We arrived in CA at 11:00am and Liam hit the ground running with a dip in the pool (it was 100 degrees on the day we arrived). Liam didn't know what to do first, swim in the pool, ride the bike, ride the scooter, play with the toys...so much to do. Uncle Stefan came over for dinner and did his uncle-ly duty to hype up the boys before bed. Jet lag was setting in...For the record, everyone was awake at 4:45am the following morning and mommy got no more than 2 hours sleep in a row all night!

"Bye Bye Fan"

Another new trick involves waving at the fan, any fan will do, he has been practicing this trick all week...







The "what fits in what" game...

Noah's newest game involves figuring out what toys will fit inside other toys...he can spend a long time at this...


Summer vacation...

Liam, Evan, Benjamin, and Carson (friends from preschool) enjoy an afternoon at our pool...
