Happy Birthday Poppy!

Poppy turns 60 today! We celebrate tomorrow! We love you, Happy Birthday! xoxo

Meanwhile....

While the church service was lovely, I'm afraid I didn't see much of it because all of this was happening at the same time....

I did stop her from eating the alter arrangements.

Somehow these 2 got the message "run, do not walk, run as fast as you can all around the church."

Caley's Baptism

We went to see Caley's baptism this past weekend. Uncle Ryan is her Godfather.

Maine

The kids and I went to visit Amy, Thomas and Acadia in Maine last week. We needed a break from unpacking and some fresh air. We made it up in time for lunch, and then hit the playground. I think that picture is my favorite.

Acadia loves the tire swing, but Ella has been reminded too many times about her vomiting incident after spinning on the astronaut board at one of Josies OT sessions, so she reminded everyone pushing that she might throw up. She did lots of spinning, and no throwing up.

Josie also did some exploring.

And yes I am horrible because I forgot her hat, so her scalp is slathered in sunscreen, hence the interesting hair style.

She hasn't said so, but I think Ellas personal goal for the summer is to be able to do the monkey bars herself.

After picking up Thomas from preschool, we went for an ice cream treat.

Another favorite.

Ella always offers to share her food, even her favorite things.

Josie wasn't very willing to give it back.

So she tried Acadia's too.

Then we went back to their house for more playing outside. As you can imagine, this situation, while very cute in the picture, didn't end well.

Cousins

The girls and I went out to see Julie and Charlie for dinner last week. The babies were chasing Ella all over the house. I wish we had gotten some video!

A Neilan huddle.

She loves babies!

Sprinklers

They are all fun ad games until we get a little wet.

Sister Bonding

Even though Josie is getting to be a big girl now she still lets Ella give her a bottle now and then.
