Peace & quiet

I feel compelled to provide evidence of the kids playing quietly because it just doesn't happen that often.
Dried beans/macaroni + spoons + empty applesauce & yogurt cups = hours of entertainment. Okay, maybe not hours but definitely a good 45 minutes while I made dinner!

Frankie's 2nd Birthday

Fun times were had by all at cousin Frankie's birthday party last weekend. Items of note: candy, watermelon and delicious cake complete with vehicles made of frosting. Yum!

Friends

We got a couple good shots of the kids with their buddies over the past few weeks...always funny trying to get 4 kids to smile in a picture!

Hanging in the hammock with Taylor and Mia, who are always nice enough to let us share their swingset.

Posing with Maya and Kyran. Thanks for taking us in for a night!! :)

No more monkeys jumping on the bed

Jumping on the beds is now outlawed in our house (at least on mom's watch) thanks to James' latest accident. Here he is in the ER, pre-stitches. Something tells me this won't be our last trip to the lovely new Children's Hospital this year.

Tim & Anne's Wedding!

We had a great weekend celebrating with Uncle Tim & Aunt Anne! What a beautiful wedding! We are glad to report that the kids made it down the aisle without issue...unless you count James trying to turn around and walk back once he reached his destination :)
