More Summer fun!

In the Enchanted Forest at the Norfolk Botanical Garden we saw the houses of the Three Little Pigs...
...the house of the Old Woman who lived in the shoe...
... and Tom Sawyer's raft.
Elena loved this tire swing horse at Old MacDonald's farm!

We went to the garden with my friend, Lani, and Elena's friend, Lynnea.  I couldn't take pictures of Kevin playing because I didn't have a free hand when he was out of the stroller; he was still a new walker!  The garden has great water elements too.  Kevin had a ball!  Again, I couldn't take the camera into the splash zone.
Three mermaids!
After a week Kevin was ready to pack the car and get back to his mom and dad!

A BIG Birthday!

David's birthday just happened to fall on a day when he had to teach from 8:30am to 10pm. We couldn't let a major event like a 60th birthday to go unmarked, so we brought a surprise birthday party to him and his 6pm class! It was the week that Emma was a Girls' Camp and Elena and Kevin were staying in Virginia Beach. They were big hits at the party. Bethany helped so much with the kiddos and helping us to get to the school with all the birthday paraphernalia.
Even his students wanted pictures of the big event!

I had a birthday, too!


Elena and Emma made chocolate cupcakes for my birthday!
 And a couple of days before, I had a visit from an old friend that I share my birthday with: Suzanne Saatkamp!

Long time, no post!


Wow, it really has been a long time since I have posted anything here. Life is busy as usual and we try to stay out of trouble.

I could spend a few hours updating, but I want to get to bed. So I will focus on the most important things from this week:

TWO wonderful babies turned ONE!

...going for the candle

Such a girl, even her eyebrow is pink!
