Summertime Fun

Remember this list?

Slowly but surely we are checking activities off the list.  It's going slower than I thought though...but anyways....today Hannah  (remember, Brady and Hannah have been friends since 2006, they live in DC so we see them often!!!) was here and we decided to break out the shaving cream.  I'm pretty sure they had fun....let the pictures speak for themselves.

 Rinse off in the swimming pool....

 And then back for more!

While the big little's played, the little little's napped. Look at Baby Jack, Hannah's little brother, six weeks old and precious as can be. 

I think you might see pictures of this type of activity again, I have a feeling Lucy would be jealous if she knew she missed out on this.   Until next time friends......

She's still the baby

A morning running through a field of wild flowers with just my baby.  Watching the butteflies flutter from flower to flower, giggling at the grasshoppers tickling our legs, moments that made her laugh and made me happy to share this sweet moment with just her.

A moment in time that I will always cherish.

Life

happens

and all you can do is laugh.

My heart smiled

as I was taking these pictures

because as I was snapping away this memory and these pictures flew into my mind

And it made my heart smile because even in that 4 1/2 year old sweet face, I could still see my little baby boy.

Cousins Round 2

Hello Monday!

We had a busy weekend filled with a birthday party, a block party and a visit from Mike's sister and her family.  We are fortunate to have them relatively nearby in Harrisburg, PA which is about a 90 min. drive.   Brady adores his older cousins Kaleigh and Julia, I mean really adores them.  And they are just so sweet to him.  K & J will be spending 5 days with us in August and he is already making big plans for their time with us. 

The weather has been sunny and hot for weeks here in Annapolis and of course on Saturday the rains came and they came hard.  So it wasn't the prettiest day to see Annapolis but we made the best of it.

We spent some time playing Wii

Enjoying each other's company out at local restaurant, The Boatyard.

 

And showing them a bit of Annapolis in between the raindrops!

 

I'm glad Brady and Lucy have spent time with all of their cousins this summer.  We've enjoyed every minute of it!

Cousins

Our week of visitors continued with Mike's sister Laura, her husband Ben and their daughter Mckenna.  The 3 cousins had a fantastic time doing what kids do best - playing, getting dirty and laughing.

 *lots of pictures below for Grandma's sake*

 

 Thank you for making the trip S Family!!  We can't wait to meet the new baby!  Come back soon and we'll get out on the water next time!
