Graduation 2012

This Mothers' Day

Apparently, Will was afraid his dad wasn't getting enough of the limelight.

What could be more fun than helping him pedal his bike?  Right?

 Each time his feet go around, Will announces, "I did it!"

Having an attentive dad as a partner is definitely one of the best gifts, this Mothers' Day.

It's a pretty good gift for his mom and mother-in-law, too.

We're all pretty proud.

While the kids are counting down their days until summer break,

I'm enjoying my last few quiet naptimes, alone.

During which, I found this in the sun room.

Charlie did this right before he left for school.

I was curious what the pigeon was thinking and saw some writing on the back.

 It has a heart and the uniquely spelled word, louv, with all our names.

Mothers Day just came a couple days early!

The Only Kid...

The only kid allowed to eat Nerf bullets
at our house is the boys' 9-month old cousin,
Max.

 And that's only because he's working on some really neat tricks. 

First Tee

Isaac (our backyard neighbor) said - Will, get in the hole. I'm going to hit the ball.

More Isaac talk - I missed.

 More Isaac - Throw it out.  I'm going to hit it, again.

 Earlier today, Isaac's mom said - I hope he doesn't become one of those kids who's afraid to get dirty.

 Isaac - I see it.  It's right there.

 Jack was very excited to join in the game.

 It's definitely going to be a fun summer!

Playmates

The backyard and park are so much more fun when you have someone to join you.

Puddles

A little birthday fun.

The Celebration Has Begun!

Today started with Jack asking, "I'm 5, now?!"

Interestingly, by 10:30am, he was already looking forward to 6.

And every time, he mentions his new number, he asks if I'm 65.

Happy Birthday, no matter what number you and I are!
